Red Hat Linux becomes Fedora
While I don't disagree with the overall gist of your statement, I do disagree with your assertion that somehow the Debian project will help keep *any* enterprise linux player honest.
To put it bluntly but succintly, unless someone coughs up the dough to certify Debian for Oracle, neither RedHat, nor SuSE, nor any of the other commercial players are going to care very much about Debian. debian is not and will not feature on their radar anytime soon. Now if someone were to stand up and use Debian as a base of their enterprise level product while keeping within the spirit of Debian, yes, then it would be a threat.
As it stands, the target market for RH, SuSE et al are simply oblivious to Debina, and when they do know (i.e. they have employed a clever admin or somesuch) they generally still don't care.
