Well, I think we should ship an AS-IS downstream from the RHEL platform
as one of the options.

As far as the "more progressive / newer" option, I would think one with
some RH patches (assuming the RH patches make it more stable than
vanilla upstream) would be desired.  I this being just the vanilla
upstream if we really wanted.  But I would think optimized with RH
patches would likely be better than pure vanilla.

in both cases though, we should "fix" these to actually work whether
they are broken upstream or not.
