Explain to me, how that would work. Would Fedora ever move to a new 
upstream version or stay with the same version that RHEL does?  If it 
moves to a new upstream version, how would you ensure that RHEL security 
fixes apply on Fedora? Don't use throw away words and explain it clearly.

Firefox was just an example.  If you are not aware of how either side 
works, no point in discussing a comparison.
