Official Red Hat repositories have been way smaller than the official Debian repositories for as long as I can remember, back to the 90s. I know Fedora has a lot more packages though.

That's hardly a fair comparison, unless you can call up Debian on the phone and get 4 hour support for any of those binaries. Back in reality Fedora is the closest analog to Debian.

Touché. I didn't actually point out the difference as a point in favor of Debian; I can see the advantages of both approaches.
