Joey Hess blogs about bug 119185 in the Red Hat bugzilla.
Wow! Talk about screwing your users. I am not sure if Jeff Johnson speaks for Red Hat. If he does, why would anyone want to use a Red Hat (or Red Hat based) distro.
The rpm bug is one thing, but treating your client this poorly is awful. I am surprised how patient Tethys, the poster, was about the whole process. It is clear that he feels more strongly about the quality of the product then the vendor does.
