I think Redhat will only have their enterprise edition under the Redhat
brand name going forward. What has been the Redhat branded download
edition has been merged with the Fedora project and it is the Fedora
branded product that will be the equivalent of the Redhat download
edition in the future. If what I've read is correct Fedora will serve as
the basis for future RedHat enterprise releases.
