Fedora Project includes various sub projects such as core, extras, 
documentation and legacy among others supported by the Fedora Foundation 
and sponsored by Red Hat. Fedora Core as one of the sub projects 
provides a base operating system and packages which shares a similar 
code base to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.  Others such as Fedora Extras are 
entirely community driven and has no relationship with RHEl. Not all of 
the packages and technologies included in Fedora Core go into RHEL. Some 
of the packages are in RHEL but has been removed from Fedora Core - exim 
for example. Many of them like GFS, SystemTap and Frysk were included in 
RHEL first before reaching Fedora Core.  Also the RHEL updates lifecyle 
is entirely different from Fedora Core. So Fedora Core cannot act as a 
testing ground through it does provide a valuable means to gather 
community feedback.
