I think you will agree that the difference between RHEL and Fedora is greater than the one between CentOS and RHEL, enough for RHEL to be a different distro from Fedora.

As was Red Hat Linux (RHL) before it became Fedora Core (FC). Of course, all Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) packages start out as RHL/FC packages, and there is that 1:1 relationship.

If you like Fedora Core, vote Fedora Core. If you like CentOS, vote CentOS. If you like RHEL w/SLAs, I'd vote RHEL (but that's just my viewpoint).

But as I said, I think people will over-analyze things to death. People won't know about CentOS unless people vote for it, so if it's your favorite, just do so.
