I get a chuckle out of this. You may not have actually said that the RedHat enterprise releases are better than other distros, but you have vigorously sought to prove RedHat totally blameless when confronted by the effects of their release choices (inclusions and omissions). When anyone dares to complain, SLA is offered as a panacea for all supposed failings. I find RHEL/CentOS to be a blessing and a curse. It's certainly reliable (my desktop system has encountered no significant problems) and the CentOS list is a real gem, but what's going to happen when the next round of 2-2-2 6-6-6 hits? Actually, it's already underway. Will there be just as many functions dropped that people know and love and cannot relinquish without a lot of extra rework, and what new (only partially backwards compatible and perhaps still in their infancy) functions will be added that cause real grief and more rework for some portion of the community? One thing that would help would be a roadmap. It shouldn't be necessary to pore over change logs to get an idea what is coming. -- Collins Head teachers of the world unite: you have nothing to lose but the Start button.
