I don't see a reason for that. Most decisions like this are done months in advance so it would have been started before the breach. My guess is that they saw a bigger win-win working with Ubuntu than working something out with say Red Hat or CentOS.
My guess is that Ubuntu has a higher 'sex-appeal' than Debian, etc.

Clam-up? Whatever are you talking about, Bruce? Fedora is a community based distro, completely distinct from such commercial based entities such as Red Hat. Fedora only acts according to *community* wishes.
Security Breach? Posted Oct 19, 2008 4:27 UTC (Sun) by BrucePerens (guest, #2510) [Link] Fedora only acts according to *community* wishes.We can't blame Fedora. They don't necessarily have the information.

Or can't reveal it.
Security Breach? Posted Oct 19, 2008 19:33 UTC (Sun) by Simetrical (guest, #53439) [Link] No. The migration has been ongoing since long before then. If you don't believe me or gmaxwell, you can check the Wikimedia Ubuntu Migration FAQ.

This was not a constructive comment.
So far there is no hint the Red Hat incident had incidence to anything but Red Hat infrastructure (unlike some distributions that made countless third-parties revise their certificates for example)
