Red Hat charging for the wrong distribution?

Red Hat has really been grating my nerves as of late. Undocumented features that are advertised but unusable, recommended updates that are thoroughly broken, failure to update packages with high-impact problems, and a poor software packaging and distribution policy have me testing other distributions with a goal of taking my business elsewhere.

This heightened level of aggravation with Red Hat started with their split from the community version. It should be noted that I think this was a smart business decision for Red Hat. There was no way they could continue to have a single distribution that was all things to all people. However (and some of this is coincidental), after that happened, I started having very large problems with the commercial version of Red Hat Linux (specifically, Red Hat Advanced Server).
