Right but people generally do not install packages from just anywhere in corporate settings. I am sure there are a lot of places where either red hat packages the software or you don't get to use it. Not to mention, sometimes it's a pain in the ass to install an unsupported app like a compiler or mail/ldap/web server. And if something goes wrong and you're not using the supported version of the supported package, you don't get support. (Which is how it should be I think)
