I'd say it's more of a response to Debian's development model. UnitedLinux has become a liability to SuSE, so there's no need for Red Hat to respond to that.

Yup. It's crazy to not to develop code in public.

RedHat 8.0 was so much better than 7.x. X was configured by default. Everything looked nice. ... But the browser didn't work. It's a stupid detail when you compare it to everything they got right but it still made the first hour of 8.0 pretty miserable.

Hopefully with more people testing the betas this kind of thing will get caught.
