:-> okay well im getting more and more clarification of what fedora
is...
first about that 7.3 tree in fedora. It will open when people start
submitting packages for it. And fedora is working on the documentation
on the package submittal process now to make it easier to understand.
Maybe you can debug their documentation and start up the tree with some
packages for 7.3?

second..it looks like fedora is making enough room to be both add-ons to
redhat...and a new full redhat-like community os.
Overreaching...shrug...but if you have man power...and they are working
on the process to stitch it all together...seems like a good fit.
