This is a very important distinction to make. If Red Hat were
controlling things like some people in this thread say, half the board
would be involved with Red Hat's products and core business (as the
Board was intended to be). As it is, almost none of the @redhat.com
people now on the board have involvement with RHEL, JBoss, etc.
Honestly, I strongly think the current board makeup hurts Red Hat more
than it hurts Fedora, because there really isn't much insight into RHEL,
or JBoss, etc. on the board. It's completely Fedora dominated, which is
not fair to the people that pay the bills...
