Agreed.  I just won't use them personally because I had previously paid
them cash out of my pocket and they changed the licensing model and
asked me to pay more (significantly more, ES * 3) and when I didn't they
wouldn't refund the recently re-newed RH7.3 maintenance I had just paid.

Yes. I just don't want their mgmt/marketing to screw next year's
enterprise customers like they screwed me years ago.  Doing that would
hurt them and Linux in general.
