What's your point? Fedora released their update as well.

RHEL's customers tend to be Enterprise users, and while we certainly expect any critical vulnerabilities to be fixed in a timely manner, we also expect thorough testing and QA to be done on any release so as not to interrupt our environments. This is why we use RHEL and not a "free" distribution. :-)

In any case, this probably isn't the place for this discussion to happen. If you want the patched kernel faster, get a hotfix from Support and push it out.
