Yep. Our site design is changing, and Fedora gets it's own upper level
nav. That gives a mini-home page for fedora, that positions it and sends
the user to fedora.redhat.com.

Maybe, except I have zero direct control over fedora.redhat.com, whereas
a traffic request let's me update rh.com. Maybe instead of those sorts
of sites, a widget box that deep links into FAQs, Downloads, and
projects like the utility links in the upper right of fedora.redhat.com.

Yeah, whatever makes us most comfortable with pointing users there.

Yeah, the links have space for text explaining them.
