Enterprise Bug Fixes

Today, an unimportant but interesting bug #313291 has been fixed in RHEL 5. Here is the timeline:

I am grateful that the bug has been fixed after all this time, but I don't use RHEL 5 anymore, and mutt in RHEL 6 got the fix from the upstream.

I wonder why they even bothered to fix the bug after so much time, and even release the new mutt package fixing this single bug. This is not a complaint, this is hopefully an interesting insight to the release process of RHEL packages. Maybe some high-profile customer wanted this bug fixed. Who knows?
