A system provider which can not also offer a _legally binding_ support contract is simply not allowed on any production / mission critical servers within our organisation. So it doesnt really matter that i prefer Debian and Slack over RedHat, i still wouldnt be allowed to deploy a deb-system.

I understand the existence of such a mind set in management. Goofy attitudes on
the part of suits, empty and ohterwise, are part of the real world.
Perhaps there is a business opportunity for a third party service organization:
Sell official Debian CDs with a fancy label, and privide contract support only
with companies who are customers of record for their particular pressings of
the Debian CDs. To make the business "credible", it would have to charge at
least as much for a set of Debian CDs as Microsoft charges for an entry level
site license.
