I've run Red Hat and Fedora systems forever, I use them at work and at home, and I have relationships that go back to the Cygnus days. But I am deeply troubled by the lack of communication. It is corrosive to the trust that Fedora and Red Hat need to be seen as credible, and people will start to assume the worst.

Please, Fedora, say something. Tell us what you know, as well as what you don't know.

Well, if this speculation is right:
Last month, Fedora slipped a small patch into gcc designed to ensure that the results from the most recent board election - where one slot went to a candidate who was not a Red Hat employee - would never be repeated.
... then GCC has mystic mind-control powers (which of course work only on people who aren't GCC hackers, because of quantum). So once that nefarious patch is fixed, you will be the only person who is concerned. ;)
