Quoting the wiki: "RH 3: Engineer/Engineering manager with strong
relationship to RHEL; We get a lot of complaints that RHEL folks don't
have enough insight into Fedora. This is an attempt to fix that. We will
gather some suggestions from RHEL managers and evaluate from there.".

Just wondering: Might it be better to get someone from RHEL engineering
into FESCo or both the Board and FESCo? FESCo afaics should be the one
that does the technical decisions -- those have a strong impact for RHEL
so having someone from RHEL there might be better.

On the other hand: FESCo does meetings and nearly all other things in
the open, so RHEL people can join there easily if they want.
