RHSS is a fork of the community GlusterFS project. Red Hat follows the "upstream first" principle, which means that the commercial project does not have complete different functionality/features from the upstream project. RHSS releases get enterprise grade testing by the Quality Engineering department. Problems the QE team finds, will need to get fixed in the upstream master branch, before Red Hat developers backport the change to RHSS. We (as the Gluster community) backport changes to our stable release branches as well, but in a less scheduled way. The community also relies on users reporting bugs in the stable releases. RHSS support engineers and developers work hard to fix problems reported by their customers. Those fixes sometimes get backported to the community stable releases too. The commitment for RHSS is to have a stable platform, with features that the enterprise customers need. This includes the ability to get support for the product, timely, well tested and non-breaking updates. There also are different Red Hat products that integrate with RHSS. Different versions of different upstream projects can make it difficult to pick the right versions that play well together. Cheers, Niels
