I disagree, CentOS and Fedora are completely different, e.g. on the
"project control/management" side, target-audience wise and
feature-wise.
Of course they are quite different in those areas. But when RHEL5 came
out it felt and looked a lot like a slightly modified and enhanced
Fedora Core 5 or 6 (which it was)-- that is want I meant ;-)

And this would be an even better alternative, but it's not that I would
expect this to ever happen.
Well, if things continue like in the past two years then the younger
generation will only learn the Debian and Ubuntu way; that will
influence the decisions which Linux distribution to take when those
people get older and become decisions makers (the Wikipedia change is a
good example for it afaics). Hence Red Hat and Fedora afaics really need
to change some things become a bit more popular again if Red Hat wants
to continue making money in the long run ;-)
