Hi All,

On a previous post, I was asked why I was always asking about releases.
I responded that Red Hat would fix my bugs, but slate them for future
editions.  Here is an example:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1356288#c14

         "It's currently planned for 7.5."

It was reported under 7.2.  They have fixed it, but won't
release it until 7.5.

I do sincerely appreciate them fixing bugs, but the delays involved
are something to behold.

When I asked them if there was some workaround till them,
there response was:

         "The best way would be to contact your support
         representative, who'll then guide you through the
         possible options."

And I clearly stated I was coming from the community.

The "double edged sword" of EL Linux can be a real pain
in the neck at times: stability by freezing packing
versus aggravation for not fixing bugs in those
frozen packages.  EL Linux defeats the purpose of
Kaizen (continual improvement).

EL Linux is still a good package though, despite its
aggravations.
