I can't help but feeling for the a huge swath of the intended audience this is much too late. I remember the cachet of using RHEL over something like CentOS 3-5 years ago but now it seems like any operations team I come into contact with is fine the Ubuntu Server and call it a day? For everything RedHat has done for open source, in my mind rightly or wrongly I associate them more with sales force or oracle rather than a quasi benevolent champion of FOSS.
