I found RHEL and friends too frustrating to use. They

Don't count on paid subscription mattering much at all, I have got the
answer that it works the assinine/wrong/broken way upstream so they
won't fix it (I have gotten that answer a couple of times).
Oracle when supporting the RedHat compatible packages will give the
same sort of answer (it works just like it does on actual RedHat so we
won't fix--they do not care that it actually is broken).
And note I was the person that worked the hard cases for a company
with > 5,000 licenses, so if most senior linux resource at a company
with that sort of licenses are getting this story then everyone else
is screwed..
All paid gets you is the security updates and other new/package
updates, the typical support is to blame the customer and give you the
run around for months and maybe (or maybe not) fix it and/or simply
hope the customer gives up. For almost everything else you are on
your own.
When I switched over to Fedora, the difference was so great
I almost giggled. Everything -- well almost everything -- worked!
And Bugzilla got things fixed!!!!
