Where I work there is a bit of overlap because some projects want the dev environment to match the final environment, and Red Hat is basically the only player in the game for prod in government. I can see this pushing some projects to pay for Red Hat for dev machines versus take the risk of having a separate dev environment.

Where that isn't a concern though, it will push devs over to Ubuntu (the only other Linux flavor I've seen around here) probably, and quickly the friction in government against non-Red Hat Linux flavors will drop. As an example of that friction, last I looked Red Hat published themselves guides and scripts to get CentOS stig'ed to the level we need here, while neither Ubuntu nor anyone else had automated it.
