Red Hat are right to ignore them and let the rest of the world point and laugh at them. If Oracle really, really want Red Hat to drop its price ... they need to certify on CentOS. That'll bugger 'em. Red Hat's actual service is dismal in my experience, and the only reason people buy RHEL is to meet a vendor certification or because it's easier to get past a CTO if you're paying someone. Which is less than fortunate for the continued development of RHEL, but oh well. Oracle is still in a snit over JBoss.

I think the cited blurb is a more accurate reflection of his blog entry. Thanks for including more of the VAR guy’s statement than just the slam.
