Were you a customer? Was Red Hat actually deriving any revenue from the
machines you were running Red Hat Linux on besides a trickle of money
for Red Hat Network subscriptions? If not, why do you think they should
be concerned about what you run now?

And how does this have anything to do with full-disclosure? You might
want to take discussions like this to an appropriate Red Hat mailing
list, not a security discussion list.

This has been discussed to death on the various Red Hat mailing lists
already, but you might want to take a look at...

        http://fedora.redhat.com/

...for the continuation of their free distribution (from which RHEL
will be derived). It's the natural successor to Red Hat Linux, and if
the folks driving the Fedora Legacy project manage to keep up support
for releases beyond the 6-8 month lifecycle of Fedora Core, you're in
a pretty similar support position to RHL.
