I think my concerns have been very clear.

If somebody were to buy RHT, the worse they could do is prevent previous RHT employees from working on it as their day job, turn off the servers and sit on the trademarks. All the code and people can go to a new project name.  It would just take a few servers and an uplink to the mirror system, which is not owned by RHT or Fedora.  There really isn't any intellectual property around Fedora that isn't open and transparent.  Man power may die off, but some arbitrary rule about how many people who might be employed by RHT can serve in decision bodies wouldn't change that at all.

I'm afraid of what might happen if an individual like you, an key player 
within the community suddenly disappears from the face of the planet.

So let me ask you this who's your backup ( given that you at least have 
one within Red Hat ) and can a community member step in you're shoes to 
full fill your role in your absence?
