I don't really see how either matters, really.

If they turn off all security and make 'honey pot linux - based on
fedora' as a livecd for catching would-be crackers, I have no problem
with that. It would be a good thing to have fedora's name on, I think.

If they put apt in place (and modify massive amounts of anaconda, etc,
to make it all work) then why not?

How does it hurt us?
