The sign-up path isn’t clear: When I signed up, it took a day for all the parts of Red Hat’s infrastructure to become aware of me. That delay wasn’t made clear at the time.

It expires every 12 months, and you have to take action to renew it, again with a not-very-clear path. It’s not possible to renew early (at least, I didn’t see how).

It adds extra friction: You don’t get a custom ISO or the like. Instead, you have to register your system during installation. It’s an extra step you don’t have to take.

There’s a subscriber agreement you must agree to, which not everyone wants to do.

It isn't trustworthy in the same way that the downstream rebuilds were.
