I think he was asking about policies, not discrete events (like the
3.6.4 rebase).  Again, everything anyone needs to know about the
recent rebase is in the RHSA itself:  
  https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0501.html  

The errata on all Red Hat products are always public (no RHN login
required):  
  https://rhn.redhat.com/errata  

Also, a little tidbit ... if you _ever_ want to know what legacy or
recent product decision was made on the great majority of Fedora,
Red Hat or other releases, I've been leveraging Bugzilla for over
a decade:  
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com

I was in a Red Hat class three (3) years ago, and a question came
up.  Sure enough, it was a long-ago made decision that Bugzilla
completely explained, ending all speculation.

Bugzilla references are often listed in the RHBA/RHEA/RHSA, RPM
package changelogs and elsewhere.  I did not see a BZ listed or
referenced in the RHSA.  I also don't see it in the changelog.
Sometimes they are not immediately public for customer or other
reasons, but they are there for legacy reference in the future.

As I always say, Bugzilla is a great way to find out "what Red Hat
was thinking," and often right alongside the customers.  ;)

P.S. I know people like to think Red Hat ~ Ubuntu, but one needs to
remember and understand the release model is not remotely similar.
At a very loose relationship, Fedora ~ Ubuntu, with a similar
release period (not considering at Ubuntu LTS) and decision making
when it comes to alignment with upstream v. direct customer requirements
(especially when it comes to backports and longterm ABI/API integration
issues).

Red Hat solutions are customer-driven, and as a customer over almost
a decade, I've always found it best to leverage my Red Hat
representatives and customer support channels to get the information
and/or changes in the product necessary.
