Great to experience somebody at RH exposing PM on the list ;)

That's the core of us talking pass each other:

I am participating in FE, because MY personal interests intersect
sufficiently with those of the Fedora Project and expect mutual benefits
for all parties being involved. I don't really care about RH, the FF or
FESCO.

The problem is RH, the FF and FESCO are increasingly interfering with my
interests, and don't really help. Instead of concentrating on technical
issues, I see more and more marketing projects being launched, FESCO
drawing more and more questionable decisions and RH becoming more and
more non-communicational.

I acknowledge RH providing servers and the buildsystem, but apart that,
I don't see any substantial contribution of RH to Fedora, which is
substantially different from what the situation used to be before
Fedora.
