Ouch! It used to be possible to find some testing EL kernels on various
URLs under people.redhat.com, but it seems that some Red Hat internal
policy has forbidden that from now on... that plus the new "self
support" for the same price as having support previously, and you get a
nice crippled entry level Enterprise OS.

This makes me wonder : Is Red Hat intentionally driving its "lower-end"
customers towards clones of it's own OS? It would seem logic to try and
do the opposite, but hey, I'm no business expert...
