For these customers we offer a product called Extended Update Support or EUS. Some must certify on a particular minor release (eg: RHEL 6.2) and stay there for some time. Upgrading minor release every 6 months doesn't suit all customers. If the fix is important enough, we'll also fix it during RHEL 6.6 but only during 6.6. For example, if something is broken in RHEL 6.6 (the current minor release today) we'll likely fix it in RHEL 6.7 or maybe a later minor release. Generally only the current minor release gets fixes, or fixes are deferred to a later minor release. We prefer a working release to an on-time release so this won't always be 6 months on the dot. This is the point releases, RHEL 6.1, RHEL 6.2, RHEL 6.3 and so on. Once a major release happens, we try to make a minor release every 6 months or so. RHEL5 was based off Fedora 6, RHEL6 was based off Fedora 12~14, RHEL7 was based off Fedora 18~20. We take out non-business packages and stuff we don't wish to support, run the rest through rigorous testing to make sure it's reliable, and the result of that work becomes a major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Every few years, Red Hat take the current release of Fedora.
