This isn't a Red Hat project.  It's an open source project staffed by
volunteers like Yaakov.  We do tend to base our decisions on how things
work on Linux because that's what the project has come to be modelled
after.  Red Hat has nothing to do with it.  If Red Hat was actually
calling the shots I wouldn't be here.
