Red Hat's "obfuscated" kernel source

Sure be disappointed...express that honest disappointment. But be as fair an unbiased about expectations as you can. If this is going to hurt how people are already collaborating with Red Hat, then by all means those people should speak up and tell Red Hat that they valued that collaboration which the older kernel patch policy facilitated and try to engage them in a dialogue on how to structure things so that collaboration can continue to happen.
