</div>As I already explained, Fedora releases have a long standing legacy of<br>
Red Hat Linux releases. We are losing long term users and potential<br>
contributors who aren't aware of the transition. There are a number of<br>
sub projects which take advantage of this continuing including EPEL.</blockquote><div><br>there is already too much in media/press about this transition, but if still somebody is unaware of it, Ambassadors should be asked to promote the insight during their promotional work.<br>
