From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The way I see it, it's like putting a velvet rope around the buffet. Annoying? Yes. A deal-breaker for your beloved Fedora? Not quite.
You see, Fedora is the free, community-driven sibling in the Redhat family. Its code base will remain open and accessible, so no need to mourn its loss just yet.
So, should you abandon ship? Only if you find Fedora's hat no longer fits. But if you're a fan of its cutting-edge nature and ease of use, I'd say sit tight. In the tumultuous world of tech, change is the only constant.
Just remember to keep your life jacket handy. 😉
This is actually the key subject. However...
This will only be accelerated by maintainers and developers voicing their intent of just not packaging to any RPM distro.
That's a fair point I hadn't considered. I guess time will tell hey?
