This sounds remarkably stupid.

If people wants the nice paper boxes to the extent they will go out and buy
them in a store, why doesn't Red Hat want to sell it to them? It can't be that
much work to prepare the boxed distributions (and if it really is, they've hired
the wrong people).

The whole story has a faint ring of tie-induced suffocation: refocusing the
business to increase the stock-holders value... Let's hope not to much is
destroyed in the process. Red Hat has always been a role model for the other
commercial distributions on how to license their work. But this was all before
the ES/AS line of products.
