"Fedora is not a beta of RHEL". Sure! It is an alpha of RHEL :-/
Certainly it was a sarcasm...
Fedora is a powerful platform, I find it degrading and insulting to the
Fedora community that people reduce the fine work to "merely a RHEL
beta",

if it was that nobody else would use it,
Unfortunately such a scenario is really possible. I know a lot of users
who had switched to CentOS or similar RHEL-based systems. The main
reason is to avoid stability decreasing.
Initially, such users could be good volunteers for Fedora, but it was
too hard for them to handle a production system and to fix escalating
amount of bugs simultaneously. The "escalating amount of bugs" can be
reduced, but only after all RHEL people will really cease to consider
Fedora as RHEL-alpha.
