Prize + Community which is why so many use RHEL clones instead of Red 
Hat it self.

Alot of corporate that I know have the policy to only deploy RHEL if the 
application running on top of the OS lists it as required for support.

If the relevant application does not deploy one of RHEL clones.

I should also mention when I speak of LTS release I'm just speaking of 2 
- 3 year release cycle.

If you need anything more than that you certainly should be 
deploying/using RHEL or one of it's clones.
