But now Red Hat won't be selling official boxes *at all*, let alone ones with the privilege of tech support. That changes the landscape dramatically.
Other issues aside(because I'm afraid I was pushing the discussion OT), this still doesn't solve the problem of people buying third party disc's then calling RH tech support expecting free assistance and then getting pissed at RH because they have to pay for the help. If the third party vendors find a workable way to overcome this I'll bet RH will be ecstatic to resolve this issue.
