Two points...

First, Alan Cox works for Red Hat, as do a number of other kernel
developers.  Red Hat has clout in the Linux world, and things that get
their attention get addressed.  That said, any given bug report may or
may not get their attention.  ;-)

Secondly, if you're using Red Hat kernels, it's entirely possible that
the bug you're seeing is not present in the Linus-blessed kernel.  Red
Hat adds a lot of patches to increase functionality/compatibility,
improve performance, and fix bugs...  These patches may not make it
into the mainstream kernel for quite some time (if ever).  Depending
on your problem, Red Hat may be your ONLY recourse.
