To be able to provide enterprise support companies must be active in the upstreams community for the components they provide their customer base with right. So has canonical enterprise support evolved beyond simply providing moral support to it's customer base through a hot line number which boils down to the same service as a priest or psychiatrist could provide their customer's administrator with when shit hit's the fan and the infrastructure is melting down?

Do you really want to start going down the path of arguing how good RedHat's support is for old versions of things?

Or how involved they are in all the upstream projects?

Or make the same arguments for Suse?

I don't think that would be a wise thing to do.

I've used RedHat, Debian, and Ubuntu "Enterprise" releases at different times, and I haven't seen significantly better results in dealing with problems related to older versions in any of them.

Do you agree or disagree with the assumption that to be able to provide enterprise support companies must be active in the upstreams community for the components they provide their customer base with?

I disagree, because after the first few months the things that an "Enterprise" distro does have little to no impact on the upstream community, because that upstream community has moved on to new releases and isn't going to spend a lot of time working on the old version.
