Pretty interesting comments in the link from the Red Hat folks. This decision must have been a hard one for them because of "support" implications. But this might not be the very best approach. Say, for example, there's a new feature that interests me. As a customer, on my current box (or even Fedora from the bug report) I can not try that particular feature because Red Hat does not see business value in it yet. This gives room for me to look out at other distributions that are more "open". Bingo!! Customer lost.
