So they understand that keeping up with Errata on a distro is time consuming and costly. It doesn't make sense for them to do this on their own, but they think it makes sense for Red Hat to do it and give it to them for free?
It obviously made sense to RedHat when RedHat was a company of ~100 employees. But it does not make sense now that RedHat is a larger company of over 600 employees.
A lot of things that made sense during the dot-com bubble don't make sense now...
Looks like this is turning into a flame war. I'm not part of Red Hat's decision making process, so I can't help you with what motivates them to do what they do. I was just giving an alternative view to "Red Hat needs to give us no cost software supported forever..."
