I'm not sure I get the fear. Oh no Redhat is making so much high quality OSS that distros adopt makes Redhat commercial support better simply because you can get the engineer that wrote it on the phone? I mean that does happen but I'm not sure it's a bad thing.

They'll never be able to swing an EEE on any of their OSS projects because other distros couldn't adopt them and RHEL only is a death-knell.

Big if for sure, but if IBM continues letting them stay course while they fuck about with Openstack then we'll be better for it. Redhat is the standard for what good stewardship of OSS looks like from a company.
