What do you mean "disappear"? Tell me why these efforts won't appear in Fedora? The same RH engineers responsible for sections of RHEL are responsible for those same section of Fedora. In addition, community developers will provide code that may work its way into RHEL, but on the way there, it is in Fedora. > This has the effect > of shutting out, or pricing out, those in the community who have > given freely of their time and experience.

RHEL will surely be very well tested before release, and who is purchasing Fedora? No one, it's free for the download and will undoubtedly be available on cheap CDs. The community is helping to create it and test it. Gerry -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
