So I've been on the Red Hat bandwagon since forever....  I've installed about 
every distro out there and found that Red Hat just seems to fit pretty well.  
I was reading through the following link...

http://rhl.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/

These release notes for the next beta layout a few items here and there.  What 
I was most surprised to see was some of the packages not being distributed in 
this release and some that may be dropped in later releases.   

It looks like pine is on the cut list, because it's not open-source?

I don't know about a lot of you, but pico is a command I use multiple times a 
day..... Another note worthy cut is lilo.   GRUB is going to be the 
recommended boot loader.  It just seems to me Red Hat is taking some more of 
the user choices and cutting them out.  I don't know if anyone has ever had 
to boot a system into single user mode to reset the root password, but I know 
from experience doing it with GRUB sucks.  
Needless to say I think it's time for me to pack up my toys and look for a 
different distro.
