No, you appear to have Redhatitus. :)

Redhat offer support on an incredibly limited basis.  Given that most 
people will want to do more with their servers than Redhat allow for, 
you quickly get in to a situation where you have parts of your system 
supported, parts of it not, and if you started installing 3rd party RPMs 
(as most people end up doing) you may find yourself in a situation where 
you either stick with software with security problems, or satisfy 
dependancies and upgrade system libraries to versions that Redhat don't 
yet support under the terms of your RHEL contract.
