Unfortunately such a scenario is really possible. I know a lot of users 
who had switched to CentOS or similar RHEL-based systems. The main 
reason is to avoid stability decreasing.

Initially, such users could be good volunteers for Fedora, but it was 
too hard for them to handle a production system and to fix escalating 
amount of bugs simultaneously. The "escalating amount of bugs" can be 
reduced, but only after all RHEL people will really cease to consider 
Fedora as RHEL-alpha.
