I like Linux. I like Red Hat and Fedora Linux. I use them every day. What I don't like, though, is not knowing what's what with the recent security break-in into the RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and Fedora file servers.

Too harsh
I think it's a bit harsh to question Red Hat's "trust" at this stage. As the author stated, Red Hat has taken all the correct steps to rectify this unfortunate situation.
As to *how* the exploit was accomplished, it's possible that Red Hat doesn't know yet, which is a worry, but presumably the attack was a sophisticated one, in order to breach Red Hat's security in the first place.
I'm sure that Red Hat is burning the candle at both ends trying to identify how this was achieved.
