While there is government-specific content, SSG is an open community
that develops and provides content for others to consume, use, and
deploy, to their betterment, not just the government :)  I would hope
SSG would embrace patches that provide similar benefits on alternative
platforms and hope the community members would not take that as any
form of endorsement.  Besides, isn't Fedora already included?

That said, I completely understand the project's focus on RHEL and the
fact that release testing etc all happen on RHEL.
