Folks,

	Let me go on the record of saying that with the old Redhat Network 
support there was actually a money stream to support the community 
channel. With the transition to RHEL and the higher annual expense 
(which provide support services I do not need), I have no choice but to 
use Fedora or another distribution and not contribute financially to 
Fedora's/Redhat's success. I would be happy to contribute $50 bucks a 
year to Fedora to help defray the costs of bandwidth, update server 
maintenance and bugzilla scanning. Basically, I am getting those things 
out of Fedora that I used to get out of my RHN subscription but am not 
paying anything. Basically, Redhat has turned me from a paying ally to 
a marginally competent tester for Fedora and, due to 
bandwidth/machinery, a drain on company coffers . I think we both lose. 
The biggest thing I worry about this state of affairs is that it means 
that Fedora will eventually fail due to the lack of support funds.

Andrew
