As other reply had mentioned, with their LTS you are stuck with fairly old software. For example with RHEL 6.x (surpassed just a year ago and still supported) you still have python 2.6 on there, even though 2.7 was released in 2010 (actually before the release of 6.0). You can find similar cases for pretty much every piece of software, from kernel to desktop environment. It's not a bad thing in enterprise world, it sucks on desktop.
