No one like to use every distribution available and multiple OS in  
corperate environment, as with every flavor the management get more  
taxing as you for sure already know. If you are a RHEL using company,  
fine. But if the only RHEL running systems would be the HN(s) it is  
simply not the preferred choice. That might be one of the reasons for  
the hype about LXC, to not get sticked with one special distribution  
to get the most of it.

As always YMMV
