I do not presume to speak for Red Hat. And I am not in possession of a RHEL subscription. However, what I understand it to mean is that if you're going to do a RHEL rebuild project, use git.centos.org not source you got from your RHEL subscription. If you are one of the tiny number of people that are 1) doing a RHEL rebuild and 2) are also a RHEL customer (I would speculate that this group of people can be counted on one hand) I would encourage you to speak to your Red Hat representative about this situation, rather than consulting this list. But that is what I understood from the blog post.
