Community driven effort is correct and is how it should be but you are 
closing your eyes if you believe that ReadHat is not using Fedora as 
their test environment. It is a fact that even ReadHat will not deny! 
But in another hand we do get the ability to use their latest/greatest 
and debug it before it goes into their Enterprise addition which earns 
them quite a bit of $$. So lets get real here, don't give us tomorrow's 
product to debug, give us today's!
