They are responsible for a lot of development in multiple OSS components (not only kernel) and mantain a most bleeding edge distrubution (Fedora) which is usually first to implement some new and experimental components (for Fedora8: 2.6.23, mac80211 drivers, xorg 7.3 and pulseaudio, for example).
They also tend to have a policy bias to strategies of kernel community (e.g. regarding latest announcement about out-of-source drivers), which is a good thing in the long term.
