You are quite right to point out that I glossed over the RHL -> RHEL -> Fedora -> RHEL history. Thanks for clarifying. Yes, I was referring only to today’s community contribution workflow and what I considered the fair but now previous tacit agreement between RedHat and the community of spec patch contributors and packagers. We contribute to the packaging repo and RedHat makes that repo, even the “forked” RHEL branches, available in real-time, minus embargoed security fixes.
