The point of running a project with independent management is that individuals can come and go.
Assuming the structure of the project, the organization that defines it does not collapse, then people can take on tasks should Red Hat employees stop contributing. There is a difference between "running the system" and "hosting the system". I would hope, given that both projects claim to stand on their own feet that they are relying on Red Hat knowledge, not property.
