I don't want to hijack the thread, but if you compare the investments 
made into Fedora and the commitment to the community of Red Hat in 2005 
and Red Hat in 2008, what questions do you have about Red Hat being 
serious about Fedora?

Our daily operational budget has been multiplied about five or six fold 
(community architecture + fedora infrastructure budget) compared to when 
I started as the FPL.

Furthermore, the number of full-time employees working directly on 
Fedora has increased significantly over the past 2-3 years, with 
basically every single hire coming from the Fedora community, and 
expanded roles being created from within Red Hat (like Spot's new job, 
for example, as Fedora Engineering Manager).

Maybe it doesn't look like it from the outside, but Fedora has gotten a 
huge amount of investment, comparatively, over the past few years, and 
that investment continues.

What else would you like to see from Red Hat to prove that it takes 
Fedora and community seriously?  I'm not trolling, I really want to 
konw, so that I can work on making it happen.
