Tim, I understand the reasoning behind it, but for an organization deploying/maintaining rhel5 its a dammed pain. Why can redhat not simply go back to a kernel-unsupported package, it was so much easier.

I really liked the kernel-unsupported package. It provided a great service in that if it worked for you, great, otherwise, well, sorry.

Problem was..... some bigshot customers ended up using some stuff from -unsupported... which had a problem. Then we reminded that it was "unsupported"... to which they replied "we don't care.. YOU shipped it, YOU fix it". From that point forward -unsupported became a liability that we couldn't responsibly support. Kinda sad, that we were completely well intentioned, but the rules can get in the way.
