It would have been absolutely glorious if there was a simple official statement on redhat's site ready to go so interested parties can get a clear concise statement that provided firm boundaries as to the intent of the annoucement. You can't rely on the technology "news" to get the facts out to people without additional editorializing. A pre-prepared simple statement of intent that everyone could see on the fedora website would have done wonders to stop some of the more outlandish conjecturing as to why this was happening. The directory server annoucement was made the same day wasn't it? It had a mountain of information ready to roll. All I was expecting to see for the Foundation annoucement was a supporting press release directly from RedHat devoid of any 'journalist' spin to point people to when they wandered into #fedora and asked why was RedHat punting Fedora to the curb. If Deputy General Counsel can get up in from of 700 strangers and talk about it at all.. surely a paragraph describing the intent of that annoucement on the fedora website could have been pre-prepared. -jef
