Well my main concern is exactly what you have stated "If RH decide 
Fedora should go away it would" in other words "You exist only because 
we allow you to exist"
The former is a pretty strong statement the latter is my own 
interpretation of what you just stated.

Times change and people with it and I'm willing to put money were my 
mouth is. So let's separate the infrastructure to a neutral ground, 
let's find a good place to host the community on. I don't have much to 
spare but I'm willing to give it all I got it's not like I have not I've 
invested far to much of my time and other things in the project so far..
