There seem to be a lot of people voicing the opinion that this is a move to abandon the Free Software community.
That didn't seem to be what the poster was saying. He was expressing the view -- which I share -- was that the development may be bad _for RedHat_.
To me, the RH/Fedora thing is just very confusing, and I don't want to spend a lot of time thinking (or reading) about it.
I'm actually running Fedora on one desktop, and RH-9.0 on another, and both are running perfectly. But I knew exactly where I was with RH-6-7-8-9, and I don't feel I know exactly where I am with Fedora.
Like many others, I am occasionally asked about commercial installations, and I've always recommended RedHat. I probably still will do so, but not with the same enthusiasm.
So I don't think RedHat is wicked -- I just think they may have made a commercial mistake.

I see your point. But to me...it just seems that (obviously) RedHat is focusing more on the enterprise now, and with moving the free RedHat distro to Fedora, I see Fedora as being and possibly having the same and more functionality as RedHat 6-7-8-9 did...(without the commercial support, though).
