Okay, I've now renamed Section 4 "Distribution Updates," and inserted
the following Subsections ...

Section 4.1, "The Old Update Model":  
http://www.vaporwarelabs.com/files/temp/RH-Distribution-FAQ-4.html#ss4.1

Section 4.2, "The New Update Model":  
http://www.vaporwarelabs.com/files/temp/RH-Distribution-FAQ-4.html#ss4.2

The previous Section 4 layout on "The Technopolitical History" has now
been pushed back as Subsection 4.3 for "further discussion":  
http://www.vaporwarelabs.com/files/temp/RH-Distribution-FAQ-4.html#ss4.3

Please, comments, corrections, etc... _always_ welcome!  I also want to
make sure I'm not "crossing the line" where Red Hat takes some legal
issues with it.  It's really for their own benefit (I'm a big believer
in the split Fedora - Red Hat Enterprise Linux model).
