Developing RHEL open source way
summary
RHEL development centers on Fedora as upstream and an upstream-first policy: roughly 2,200 source RPMs compose a release, engineering closes nearly 10,000 bugs a year, and kernel contributions run about 7% of changesets. The team backports features, ships a 10-year lifecycle, and routinely fixes ~200 issues per month. Controversial integrations include SELinux, systemd, and the docker split that leads to alternate runtimes; most efforts succeed but require sustained community negotiation.
