+1. Many distributions (derivatives or not) produce useful tools and 
ideas which could be used in Fedora, without re-inventing the wheel 
(this is, besides, the whole idea of FOSS). Also, Fedora could provide 
them with arrangements that could be useful for them.

We should strive to see developers of derivative distributions as 
collaborators and lower the barrier of collaboration as much as possible.
