Please do not write false claims! If you know about problems, send evidence There are more then 100 bug reports in the redhat bugtracking system (just change your view to see all closed but unfixed bugs) that confirm problems with the binaries distributed by redhat and the users who reported the bugs confirmed that upgrading to recent original software fixed the problem.
