No one on this list is able to give you a definitive answer, as this
list cares mainly about upstream Fedora and is not an official RHEL
channel.  If you need to know what RHEL 7 will contain, speak with your
Red Hat sales representative.  But in all likelihood, RHEL 7 will be
closer to Fedora 19 or even 20 than it will be to Fedora 18, if only
because Fedora 19 has already been released and RHEL 7 has not.
