Greetings.
I thought I would drop a reminder here about RHEL entitlements for EPEL maintainers. If you are a maintainer of packages in EPEL, you can get a entitlement to run RHEL to help you test and fix your package(s).
See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL_RHEL_Entitlements
for more information and process to request your entitlement.
Hopefully this is useful to some. ;)

I didn't get it. Does this offer include a ssh access to the RHEL boxes?

No.
It means you can get a free entitlement from Red Hat to install RHEL on your own hardware or virtual and get updates to that install from rhn. You must supply a machine or virtual platform to run it on.

...I *just* got everything working on CentOS 6. Please forgive me for not wanting to reinstall again. XD

Not so interesting then - we've got SL and CentOS already. Unfortunately some issues exists only on some particular arches and EPEL maintainers don't have so many spare ppc64 boxes available to experiment with.
Hi,

but CentOS and SL are not the same as RHEL even if they tell you so :-)

_some_ EPEL maintainers have access to full set of supported architectures ... you can always try asking if someone is willing to test for you
ideally if you had some simple steps ready, like "run command xyz, send me the console output and log from /a/b/c.log, please"
if there's a bug in RH bugzilla for your issue, you can try putting me in QA contact (or on CC) and describe what do you need to test in the comment
