Almost none.  The reason is simple - the Fedora project does not have
infinite resources, the most important of which is time.  As can be
seen from the recent intrusion, completely rebuilding the
infrastructure takes a lot of time and causes a lot of pain.  It's a
better use of human resources to use RHEL in the Fedora Infrastructure
so we don't have to be continually rebuilding systems and we can focus
our time on other things.

What do you mean by "real" - I sit in front of Fedora systems almost
all day long.  Why doesn't that count as "real"?

unfairness of the universe."
