And redhat decided that these 2 items, short innovation cycle + long 
support cycle, are mutually exclusive.  redhat would end up "supporting" 
5-6 releases (going back ~3 years @ ~ 6 month innovation cycle), which 
would be unmanageable.  Is that really what you want?

Besides, IMO, RHEL is pretty good when it comes to innovation too.  Are 
there features missing from RHEL that you need?
