That bug report is no good as it is filed against Fedora. If you want to see
the same bug fixed in RHEL/SL, you better file a bug against RHEL (with reference
to the fedora bug). In the RHEL world, no bug report - no problem - no fix.

P.S. And that's my personal experience. system-config-date has been busted
since SL6.0. Original bug was reported in Fedora, *fixed* in Fedora for years,
then shows up again in RHEL6. So I file a bug against RHEL6.0. First it is
downgraded to low priority, (RHEL6.1 is out), then it is bumped into high
priority (RHEL6.2 is about to go out), now the fix is scheduled for RHEL6.3.
If you think it is too cumbersone and too difficult and too slow, please
go ahead and roll out your own YaLinux or whatever.

P.P.S. The quoted bug report includes a workaround for the problem (RTFBR!),
so I vote to delete this whole email thread out of existance - problem is known,
is reported through proper channels and there is a workaround. There is nothing
to discuss other than whining about bugs not being fixed quickly enough or
diverge into unrelated topics such as bios and grub password protections.
