Amen, brother! As I've said before, the thing that irks me the most is that
to me, most of the bitching seems to come from the mistaken belief that you
can't get RH for free (as in beer) any more. It amazes me that the vast
majority of nay-sayers blast RH because they want to charge for their work.
Folks, we all do that every day (unless you're unemployed). After YEARS of
giving away their distro, RH comes up with a specialty distro with support
that they want to charge for. Some people are just going ballistic. If it
wasn't so sad it would be funny.
