     @bkuhn re Slide 5, !fedora is indeed more like Coke and #Ubuntu more like Pepsi

     @fontana, my point about that is that Fedora & Ubuntu are "extra" brands owned by a corporate entity to market their product lines.

     @bkuhn Corporate owned brands,yes; but #Fedora itself not a "product line", so what product line is Fedora brand used to market? !puzzled

     @fontana, IMO #RedHat uses #Fedora as a marketing brand plus open R&D to both improve & market #RHEL. Don't you think?

     @bkuhn #RedHat does help w/marketing #Fedora but Fedora has 0 to do w/ marketing #RHEL IMO.

     @bkuhn so I don't think #RedHat uses #Fedora as a "marketing brand" other than in marketing Fedora itself

     @bkuhn #Fedora plays role in improving #RHEL, that's sort of #obvious. Don't say #open, it's a seductive mirage
