   - Patches and even trivial packages aren't available unless your subscription is up to date. If not, you have a partially broken system because you can't install even simple things like timezone updates or small unix CLI tools.
   - Red Hat sales people have been known to act in ways customers can feel is too aggressive.
-  - Some consider Red Hat training practices to be overly monotized. For example, it appears very likely that they make up their RHCE and RHCSA tests with "gotcha" questions that you'll only learn if you take their $2500 - $3000 dollar classes, but those factoids are only to keep regular knowledgeable sysadmins (who learned from on-job-training) from passing their $250 test without paying the trollbridge fee for the classes.

   - Red Hat has been bought by IBM who some suspect to have begun the process of strip mining Red Hat intellectual property and moving their staffing offshore. Many feel quality is dropping. For others, IBM's lack of profitability and recent 22-quarter losing streak also has shaken faith in the company in some opinions.
   - Much criticism has been directed at Red Hat for making poor technical choices. Example: they eschewed XFS and badmouthed XFS for years refusing to support it, then started using it as the **default** in RHEL7 enigmatically. Now they applaud it.
