of some of the options we were selecting at compile time and have to
settle for somebody else's idea of the perfect server. I fully expect it
will come back to bite us at some point.
It's probably a paid support issue.
If they are going with RHEL instead of a free distribution, they
probably are doing so for the support RHEL offers.
As soon as you modify the applications, Red Hat understandably refuses
to support the modified applications, thus neutering the point of using
RHEL.
