Well, it is one of them. Redhat is discontinuing a lot of things,
revamping their marketing structure in a cash grab. A lot of dedicated
redhat users have been moving (the word Debian seems to surface a lot) to
other distros looking for longer release cycles and better developer
support. they have this Fedora release due soon that I think they are
looking for a bandaid to stop the flood of migrant users to other
distro's. The brain surgeon who thought up this great marketing should now
be flipping burgers for a living...
