It depends--when other people find the bugs listed in bugzilla at 
Redhat, they stop wasting their own time.  So even if Redhat doesn't fix 
the problems, time has been saved for more interesting things.

You could also look at this as Redhat failing to install on particular 
"brand of machine" that many people use.   It then falls to the market 
share of "VMware machines" versus Sony (for example), and which one 
deserves more attention when trying to insure that Redhat or Fedora 
works on the largest set of hardware possible with a given level of 
resource.
