I'd say that things have changed a lot since that was written. What were those statistics that Max pointed out a while ago? Over 50% of packages are now maintained by the community; the build system is now completely open; anybody can gain the trust of the project and be allowed to work on essential infra; the list goes on! With this in mind, I see no problem with thanking Red Hat and linking ourselves with their strong brand in a subtle manner. But maybe we ought to do more to promote the massive achievements in community growing that have happened lately...
