Yeah, I have a biased perspective here as I have a vested interest in
folks taking greater advantage of any support contracts they already
have (since Red Hat's subscriptions are what ultimately pay my
salary), and my pre-Red-Hat employment was with a large scale system
integrator, so I'm now inclined to look for supply chain based
solutions to capacity problems whenever there are credible commercial
incentives to be found.

Since keeping high touch customers out of community channels also
helps reduce the overall support burden for volunteers, I'll generally
advocate for that approach whenever the questions of increased
development capacity or changes in focus come up :)

Cheers,
Nick.
