That's a given and not what I asked.

Red Hat should be supplying it's own QA resources to test it's own and 
upcoming RHEL product releases instead of be reaching out to the 
community *to do it for them*  and leach of it + he does not mention, if 
you intend on testing this on RHEL if it breaks your RHEL support 
contract or not ( which most likely it does ) hence the question.
