The difference, is that Fedora makes the effort to merge all its stuff upstream, where it can easily be copied by others, whereas Ubuntu generally does not feel like upstreaming the config tweaks which are most of its contributions is useful.
In other words, Fedora's biggest problem is that it is a good community citizen, while Ubuntu benefits from not being one.

I think this has been already discussed and people agree to disagree. From my point of view Canonical is mostly doing what it can with the current amount of employees, and they are both aiming to improve still and are also hiring more people even they may never match even half of the amount Red Hat has. But I also agree that Fedora is a _very_ good citizen, partially because of the resources it has and partially because their vision of freedom. I hope Fedora will gather more user community and helping hands everywhere.
