Red Hat doesn't have to do a Fedora Core. We could focus all our efforts on RHEL and tell everyone who doesn't want to pay us $$$ to stop bothering us. We are doing a Fedora Core. We're trying to make the developers and the open source community happy. We're trying to give them a chance to make a really good Linux distribution in the spirit and style of Red Hat Linux.
I'd add to this, while the Fedora Project is something I hope non-Red-Hat people are excited about, it's not purely an effort to make people happy. It's intended to be a worthwhile project for Red Hat, for all its contributors, and for the target audience.
The Fedora Project and also our architecture announcement today (http://www.redhat.com/software/architecture/) reflect a belief in the value of the open source approach.
