&quot;Red Hat, Spevack suggests, has shifted from being &quot;Fedora&#39;s \
sponsor&quot; to <br>&gt; being &quot;Fedora&#39;s biggest customer,&quot; and Fedora \
from being a farm-team to<br>&gt; a community in its own right.&quot;<br>&gt;<br>&gt; \
&quot; One of these benefits is Revisor, an initiative of the new Fedora <br>&gt; \
Unity sub-project developed independently of the official processes.<br>&gt; Taking \
advantage of the new openness, Revisor is a wizard that guides<br>&gt; users \
step-by-step through the building of &quot;re-spins&quot; or customized <br>&gt; \
variations of Fedora.&quot;<br>&gt;<br>&gt; &quot;For the larger free software \
community, another benefit of Fedora&#39;s new<br>&gt; openness is Smolt, an opt-in \
hardware profiler that allows the project<br>&gt; to collect data about the equipment \
on which Fedora installs. Even <br>&gt; before the release of Fedora 7, Smolt has \
been ported to the openSUSE<br>&gt; distribution. Spevack anticipates the creation of \
a neutral website<br>&gt; where information gathered by Smolt is available for all \
