A single person paying $60 a year does not cover the expense. Heck, it
doesn't even cover the epxense of office supplies for the person doing
that work.

IOW, the price cannot be determined without knowing the number of people
willing to buy it. Not speaking as a Red Hat cost analysis person, I'd
expect that given the cost of maintaing the OS, and the number
of people actually willing to buy that support for 6.2, the cost
would be significantly higher than $60.
