Can  you provide some examples where this happened in the last six 
months?  That would help me understand more where you are coming from.

I think it would really help your case to put forth some specific 
examples of when this has or has not happened recently.

Maybe I'm not following what you're saying, but it sounds like you are 
suggesting that in all likelihood all non-Red Hat members get 
steamrollered or bullied by the Red Hat members?  Honestly I don't 
recall ever seeing the leadership in Fedora (FESCo or Board) vote purely 
along the lines of who employs them... if anything there is more 
disagreement amongst the Red Hat folks themselves :-)
