Many people like the fact that Red Hat has the ability to fix bugs in all software it claims is supported. Big corporations are very happy when their suppliers can fix the software problems that inevitably crop up on the really high end servers. Nothing worse than investing $200,000 in a machine and then finding out that the hardware/software combination wasn't supported after all. This is a scenario that has to be prevented at all cost. -- This is my personal opinion, though it really should be everyone's.
