Why did not RedHat release 5.x kernel with High Resolution Timers enabled ?

We thought that particular kernel is not much stable with High Resolution 
Timers.

However, SuSE 11 supported High Resolution Timers AS-IS. 

Initially, we tried RedHat 5 on our system. But, In production environment we 
needed to have stable version.

I am not sure, but I think vendor does not support custom kernels.

Are you saying that changing the distribution is deemed less of a problem
than rebuilding the kernel with the high-res timer option ticked? The
kernel src.rpm package is there for a reason.
