I think RedHat has recognized that the best support for home desktop
users is the community.  That is the way things have pretty much been
working anyway.  RedHat's only money making comes from enterprise
users.  So they are just blessing the existing community.  I think
community-based support seems to work better than any
corporate-sponsered support.  (Ever try to get support from Microsoft
for anything?  Reboot, reinstall, sorry you're out of luck.  Consider
upgrading.)
