At the same time, it's not really the case that Red Hat is trying to undermine Fedora; it's probably more that, in absence of a clearly-defined relationship between the two (including when it comes to shared computing resources), the natural reaction of a commercial company is to engage in damage limitation. Which unfortunately affects the Fedora leaders who are Red Hat employees.

The Fedora Board is taking this infrastructure problem as a wake-up call, which is a good thing. Whether this ought to have been anticipated is another question, but hopefully in the future this kind of issue would be handled better.

The author isn't saying that Red Hat's trying to undermine Fedora, rather, he's saying that the effect of the way this has been handled by Red Hat tends to undermine Fedora.
