As far as Alex's post goes, it's simply wrong, and I wish he had spoken to me 
about his frustrations with the significant challenges of infrastructure 
maintenance in large established organisations before posting it. Red Hat's 
been fighting the battle for better enterprise infrastructure management for 20 
years at this point (including in the US public sector: 
https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/industries/government), but like almost 
all institutional reform, it's very slow going.

We offer plenty of options for folks to upgrade faster, and it's much easier 
for us when they do:

So if you care about getting security enhancements rolled out in a way that 
means people responsible for infrastructure management in large organisations 
will actually adopt them, rather than dismissing them out of hand as "too 
risky", please take a moment to consider that we might have some idea what 
we're talking about.
