That is understandable. But it seems enough people have a purpose for 
it, and that is why it is set up the way it is currently. Additional 
tuning options would be nice for install, but since I know how to do it 
myself after it is installed, I am fine with it. And I am not installing 
enough systems to merit a change, otherwise I would use something like 
Puppet Master and Cobbler to manage those setting in bulk.

Though, rhgb is.. well nice, makes it feel less complex to the new user, 
I like the old style boot better myself. That is an easy thing to 
change, and takes 30 seconds to remove and it tends to stay removed even 
after updates, so 30 seconds right off the bat after one 'pretty' boot 
isn't that bad. That and I also use runlevel 3 on all my linux systems 
because I don't have a real need for a GUI, and if I do need one, it is 
easier to be web based than console based for me.

Unless you paid for the access to Bugzilla (I never have, it is free as 
far as I can see) then payroll has no roll in this. Redhat has a 
slightly different way of support that is paid for, not a free any one 
can access this type of system. Bugzilla has no relation to this, in the 
manner that the thread is stating.


That is like saying because I help out with MySQL, or help out with 
Fedora, I am on Redhats, or the MySQL payroll for the help. It seems 
just to be confused on what the support pay is going to.
