 While these guys are free to choose whatever distro they want,

You should have stopped there.  If you disagree with their FAQ, publish
your own.

 I find that they are seriously dragging the names of Fedora, RedHat and
 Centos through the mud along the way. Especially considering that by
 their own admissions, they were running very dated versions of these
 distros.

It seems like you didn't actually read the FAQ.  They're not using
Fedora because they feel it's too bleeding edge.  Updating to F10 would
hardly fix this.  They were running dated versions of RHEL because in
their opinion the most recent version of RHEL is dated.

 Is this at all a concern for Fedora Marketing or FESCO?

I'm sure a stern letter from Red Hat will change their minds.

Not sure I see that, but it is funny that they tend not to favor Fedora
for its bleeding edge nature (fair, that's why I play with it only on my
desktop) but they don't like RHEL because its slow stable nature (Why my
servers run CentOS). So maybe a slightly stable distro suits them:)

Why update a raid driver that works w/o issue? But the backport statement
makes more sense. Seems to be a valid FAQ but could use a polish in the
wording...
