Some of RedHat's dual upstream/downstream maintainers are possessively trying to take over the upstream projects while not doing very important changes.

Others are great human beings.

But on the whole, RedHat skepticism is healthy (this also applies to the NIH software that they push onto most Linux distributions).

This is likely off topic, but can you expand on that if you have a moment? Thanks.
