What I'm pretty sure the statement from the KDE is based on is the fact
that
Red Hat takes the KDE code from them and then makes some changes which
we feel
are necessary.  So, that makes it different from the code that the KDE
guys
ship and that's "not a good thing" in their opinion.  As for the Red Hat
employee that builds KDE packages in his spare time, that's not the case
at
all.  Although building KDE packages isn't his only job function, it is
one of
them, so I definitely wouldn't call that "spare time."
