I think the point the author of the article was trying to make was that
RedHat had made it unduly difficult for people who manage more than a couple
computers to be able to use their free update service. My understanding was
that each machine that used the service needed a separate account with an
unique email address associated with it. It could quickly become a
nightmare to manage even a handful of machines. It would make more sense to
allow more than one machine to use the service with the understanding that a
more detailed questionnaire would be required for the privilege.
