How would integrating RHL into Fedora affect ISVs?

[Richi Plana]

Hi,

Currently, it's common to see third party software developers developing
for and recommending the usage of RedHat Linux. For instance, Rational
(now IBM) supports the latest version of RedHat Linux with its ClearCase
line of products. Now that RHL is Fedora, are there any guesses as to
how these ISVs will take it? Is Fedora guaranteeing these companies no
changes in the version of libraries in a system for a given release version?

I'm just worrying that whatever perceived attraction developing for a de
facto standard like RHL might not carry over to Fedora. My next email
for tonight will be to Rational to ask if they'll be making releases for
Fedora.
