Well there is one big difference between RH and Sun, the product of the RH 
work is GPL'd.  So we must give them credit for that, they can't really be 
evil and the worst that can happen is their stuff gets ignored or they go 
bust and people can continue to build on their work.  That's much better than 
Sun.

Yeah.  They have complete control over what is in Fedora, not merely 
influence.  I track the development branch on several machines here so I am 
not so disturbed by being a testing ground myself.  That seems to be the 
take-it-or-leave-it deal, and RH are spending the money on it so it is tough 
to say they are unfair with that.  But still it is not a great deal under all 
circumstances.
