Joe,

I'd say a subscription to RHN is closer to a home warranty.  It may come in
handy if you need it, but there are many ways to void its coverage and if you
don't need it then it's wasted money.

It's not a perfect analogy, but I like it better because it's less
sensationalistic than the comparison to homeowner's insurance.  That invokes the
fear of losing everything which is much more appropriate for something like
performing backups (something everyone should do) than having a subscription to
RHN (valuable to some, but not all).
