It can use the same infrastructure, but make it as independant as possible to the eyes of readers (ie: not a *.<a href="http://redhat.com" target="_blank">redhat.com</a> URL, Fedora look and feel, ...). We should try to separate the two brands. Of course RedHat is liable for Fedora, but if we use the RHM, we'll be seen as a RedHat product (which we don't want right ?). The recent "incident" already hurt the independance of the Fedora Community. Let's not perpetuate this situation.
