Can you please elaborate which Red Hat policy collide with Fedora needs? I did not have such experience, so I'm really 
curious.

That is because those people work on RHEL and Fedora. And they will continue on that even if you split BZ into two 
instances. It will be still those same humans and they will be making same mistakes. I doubt that having two instances 
will help here.

Can you be specific here, please?

But it give fedora infrastructure team more free time, which you can spend on some other projects (and we have plenty of 
them).
If you want to hack BZ, you can hack it in upstream:
   http://www.bugzilla.org/
all changes done there will land in bugzilla.redhat.com sooner or later.
