Redhat is not Mandrake. There are not enough people buying Linux to warrant Redhat producing a distro. But the community project is there and Redhat will be back in a flash if need be. Their Enterprise Linux is a better deal for companies anyway. Longer support and Slower release cycles which mean better ISV suport. (which ISV wants to rebuild software every new edition of Redhat?).
They will base all their enterprise products off this project. In case you haven't noticed, its more like they are taking more control of Fedora, than they are letting the community take part in the distro. Fedora is moving to redhat.com, and certain things Fedora will not be able to do anymore, like shipping GPL mp3 plugins for XMMS.
I will still root for Redhat. They must be doing something right, being profitable and all right now.
