I'm still not sure why cheapbytes had to modify the set. It's the same as the downloadable version. If it was a LUG selling it for the same price, $7 for the 3 binary CDs, $13 for all 6 CDs, it'd be fine. The reuse requirement of eductional/not-for-profit doesn't make sense.
If I remember right this was due to legal licensing issues.
Buy I mene, why Red Hat implemented it that way, condidering the benifits the old method had. They even made CheapBytes change the RHL-7.2 listing to Linux x86 CPU Version 7.2.

IO couldn't find 7.0 anywhere, the they still have the RHL-6.2 Sparc release, but changed it to Linux Version 6.2 Sparc. An the S/390 version of RHL-7.1 is now ThinkBlue S/390 Linux 7.1a
Notice, Mandrake, SuSE, Caldera, and Debian are used without changes, but Red Hat was removed from every listing other than the Red Hat boxed sets.
