the way i see it, Fedora looks like the RH version of Debian Testing
with Rawhide as the RH equivalent of Debian Sid. or Fedora is just the
department name for their open source development section. in that case,
yes, it's not a distro, it's a department. if you'll look at their
history, it seems that all the RH distros are under the Fedora project
starting from day one of RH. It's also not exactly just a collection of
projects but it does release a distro. it does have the ISO of the next
upcoming version, codenamed Severn. the ISO is even available for
download at linuxiso.org under RH. i guess RH will integrate it into
their current product list when they're ready to release it or if not,
at least integrate some parts of it into their current products. after
all, it is a RH funded project and they'll be expecting a return on
their investment. if there will be an RHL 10, maybe it just won't have
the 30 day support thingy when you buy the boxed version but they might
still sell it.
