The generalization that we(Red Hat associates) see Fedora as a toy is 
INSULTING.
Do you know how many of us are spending their free time to get Fedora better?
Do you know how many of us have worked on Fedora(or related things) before 
working for Red Hat?
Do you know how big part of the Red Hat work is available in Fedora without 
being available in RHEL?

Yes, we have opinions and we stick to them - most of the time without our 
managers even know - because it's smth we do on our own. Speaking personally 
everyone can accuse me of not fullfilling some user's wishes (which I'm not 
oblided to do) but someone saying that I(we) look at Fedora as a toy is really 
hurting a lot of feelings.
