I as a personal user would definitly enjoy more bleeding edge features from my RH, I am in favor of the implicit shift in policy. I would also be more likely to buy ES for business critical situations. My point is that I dont believe there will be large changes to the ABIs of "regular" RH, that quickly from 8.0 to 9.0 is just a statisical blip -- Im using 9 right now and it *feels* much faster, which may be due to the kernel patches, or the 2.2 gnome. I dont think that regular RH will somehow become a beta qualitp product, but I guess we will see in time...
