one of the benifits of opensource software is supposed to be the lack of lock-in. If you don't like one vendor (for any reason, including support), you can just start paying someone else.

for RedHat to now take that attitude that you should not be able to buy support for RHEL from anyone other than RedHat does a great deal to undermine this benifit.
