No. keating at RH's claim is simply wrong.

He thinks @RH's objectives goals are identical to those of the community 
- He is plain wrong wrt. this.

This doesn't invalidate the fact RH's predominance in Fedora-leadership 
and the amount of @RH's participating in Fedora shows effects.

People like you and keating likely are too RH-streamlined and too close 
to RH to understand the importance of this consideration.
