Redhat EL has achieved EAL2 and COE certifications.  I seriously doubt
they did this using the same Q&A procedures that FL is using.  Wrt to
COE and EAL, there is no such developer statements like "wouldn't that
be nice" or "warm and fuzzy feeling".  EAL and COE necessitate exacting
procedures and processes, something RH seems to be excelling at.  

Add ISO 9001 into the discussion and your above description of RH Q&A
either reveals fraud within RH (wrt ISO 9001 compliance) or insight into
your lack of knowledge of RH operations.
