RedHat has always been known for getting security errata out the door days
before the other distro guys.  Now, it is uncertain if errata updates will
be released in a timely manner - will RH still step up to the plate in
regards to this?.  For example, if Fedora was out and the openssh bug was
found, how would it have be fixed.  Also, will RedHat continue to put
'value-added' features into Fedora, such as anaconda, printconf, setup, and
all those other redhat-xxx-xxx programs?  Will RH still "do their part"?  Or
will these redhat specific value-added programs be orphaned only to be
enhanced further on the RHEL side?

It's still a bit confusing until we see a maintainer-to-package comparison
page.
