I think that Red Hat could create a very cheap subscription plan for the CentOS crowd and have more costumers. They use CentOS because they want the quality and stability of RHEL but don't need the support.

what would they be paying for then if not support?

Prompt updates. Maybe have a tier with RHN system management and a tier without?

Having access to security updates and the point releases of RHEL directly from Red Hat sounds good to me when you already have a team of senior sysadmins in house.
People are paying for the job of striping RHEL branding and releasing it, IMHO.

RedHat already sells "self support" licenses which only entitle you to updates. You still have to pay per system / vm.

I just went and looked at licensing for RH Self Support licenses. After getting back off the floor, I decided that throwing money at Centos looks like a good deal.

Does self support allow you to file bugs with red hat? If so, that is a solid benefit which isn't clear on their site.
