Can you articulate the difference between excessive control and non-excessive control by a corporate entity?
In what way do you think Red Hat controls Fedora... excessively?

crap...
extensively.... not excessively...clearly a Freudian slip on my part.
The question still stands if you want to indulge me.

how about explaining the august events? when it happened to debian some years ago, people were told about the details, in much less than 4 months. that clock is still ticking for fedora and one would think it's not of their will.

I believe Paul has addressed again in his press interviews for F10 release.
It's an ongoing investigation and he's on record as saying he's committed to making a full disclosure when its possible to do so.

I specifically declined to be told about details of the breach if it meant that I would be subject to the same disclosure constraints which would prevent me from talking publicly. It wouldn't really help to have yet another person who couldn't talk, unless you are one of the people who are tired of hearing me talk.
I have trust in the people who are privy to more details than myself such as Paul. And no, I have no idea how long this sort of investigation is expected to take. When Paul can make a disclosure, I'm going to be right up front asking pointed questions about the investigation.
But this does remind me, we did have a discussion about communicating an incident response plan for future issues. I should ping people about that.
