You should have stopped there.  If you disagree with their FAQ, publish
your own.

It seems like you didn't actually read the FAQ.  They're not using
Fedora because they feel it's too bleeding edge.  Updating to F10 would
hardly fix this.  They were running dated versions of RHEL because in
their opinion the most recent version of RHEL is dated.

I'm sure a stern letter from Red Hat will change their minds.
