We could? What shall we use them for? (Not that we shall turn
away any donations, mind you, but we may *need* less than one
thinks).

From the tone of your question, I'd say the expected answer is
RH. More power to them. They are _not_ the enemy.

Why on earth do we have to do that?

I can't speak for others, but *I* do it cause it pleases my
muse. Getting Debian out to the great unwashed masses rouses little
but mild curiosity in me, and certainly not eough to warrant the
amount of effort I put into my packages.
Market share and World domination are not goals I strive to
achieve. And fragmenting the free software community to achieve them
is definitly not the way I want to go.
I *like* Red Hat.
