I really doubt that RedHat is silly enough to want to fork the code.
They haven't forked Linux, gcc, gdb, etc, but have been upstanding
contributors to all those projects; why would they do it differently

Some folk at RedHat's Toronto offices are gearing up to contribute work;
I was up there to talk with them just a couple weeks ago. They've not
been real visible yet though ... (hey Patrick et al: if you're reading
