Being able to take FE packages and create them for RHEL is supplying value for RHEL customers directly; Red Hat only indirectly. What it really does is allow RHEL customers to support each other in the same community as Fedora Extras. If I use RHEL and I want a package from FE, I can sign up to comaintain RHEL branch for myself and others. In return, another RHEL customer might already be maintaining another package that I would like to use. In this light, Red Hat is actually donating build infrastructure and a framework for collaboration to their customers (and non-customers as this will benefit CentOS users as well) -Toshio
