In theory at least, Fedora is an open project and we don't have to just
accept the status quo. If it isn't actually an open project then it would
be nice to know that to as accurate information will help people make
better decisions on whether or not to participate in the project.

Any criminal investigation is unlikely to produce anything worthwhile.
While it is probably too late (and because Redhat was involved it might
not have been an option) I would have preferred they ditch any criminal
investigation in preference to keeping the community informed about what
was going on with minimal lag time.
