I hear understand this point of view, but would like to counterbalance it.
(Speaking here as a Fedoraean, not a Red Hatter, although I am that too.)

Fedora is particularly interesting to some people *because* of our
relationship with Red Hat, and that's a very nice thing for us. Both Fedora
and Red Hat take huge benefits from that mutual, bidirectional connection --
*as do users of both operating systems*.

There is a very real risk of Fedora being a self-referential toy operating
system no one really uses (where "no one" excepts a few strange people like
me who have been running it as my sole OS for years). Instead, we should
emphasize and take advantage of our ecosystem -- Fedora, RHEL, EPEL,
CentOS/Scientific Linux, the whole shebang. Each part makes the whole thing
stronger.
