Knowing this is a handicap when it comes to maintaining Red Hat systems, 
and RH is the flavor of the moment with the people who spend the money.

Then again, anyone who learns Linux via Gentoo and then uses that 
knowledge to reverse engineer what RH is doing (and isn't driven insane 
in the process) will have serious job security. Also, I'm relying on 
that person to produce a RH port of the Gentoo portage system so that I 
can finally do automated from-source installs.
