I do not have any strong opinion on the issue, however I would like to
point out that removing that entry from the FAQ may be interpreted as
removing an entry that is no longer true, i.e. there would be a take
over from Red Hat -- I know that is not true, but the mere act of
removing it may be interpreted that way.
Is there a way (other than removal) to clarify the situation?
