End of RedHat support

With RedHat ending support for so many versions of RedHat Linux on December 31st (http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/), how are other hosting companies that run RH dealing with this?

Seems the choices are:

1) continue to run the free version and upgrade the OS of all your servers every year
2) pay $349 per server per year so you can get bug and security patches for 5 years
3) dump RH and take your chances another distro
4) do nothing and cross your fingers, rolling your own security patches

There are benefits and hardships associated with each option.

No matter what, this is going to be expensive in either time or money for everyone.
