Utter and complete crap. Red Hat announced a change in their policy so
that nobody was short-changed. Give Red Hat a break! Obviously you're
not an RHCE, since they were notified of the changes.

Not have you not looked at pricing, but you haven't looked at the
product either. Fedora is not a replacement for Rawhide - it's a
replacement for Red Hat Linux. Rawhide continues at it always has.
Fedora has frozen release cycles - Rawhide does not.
