why don't they just make RHEL available to all for 'free', and you just pay for support if you need it - i.e. a bit like it is now, RHEL if you pay, CentOS if you don't - I'm sure that would make everyone happy :-)
Because RHEL's value proposition is not merely support, and the value of subscription goes way beyond that.
Butttttt, that said: yes, this really is the direction things are going with expanded access to low-cost/no-cost RHEL.

They would have saved a lot of bashing of teeth etc if they would have had all of that ready at the same time so folks could assess where things fall, right now all we have is RH folks saying something else is coming with no details, most have kind of lost faith with what's been announced already, poorly timed IMHO.
