not a huge deal

red hat has maintained a de facto leadership presence in any case, they might as well formalize it, and to be certain, there are things a truly independent community might like to do with fedora that would clash with red hat's goals (like for example, consider rpm alternatives etc). its still a decent deal for users - red hat has a huge vested interest in making sure the product is high quality.

that said, i don't think this will change the course of the distro market. ubuntu has incredible momentum, and has itself become an LSB++ for distro vendors.
