I thought they were a Redhat shop. In which case, far far too late to change course!

Maybe I'm showing ignorance, but what about Redhat makes it far too late to change course?
The differences are not large, but your institutional knowledge, existing management scripts/tools, custom packages, and (presumed) working relationship with Redhat the company all contribute to making one wonder whether it is worth it to switch hundreds of thousands of servers (millions?) to another distro. You could, but at what cost for what gain? Why, upgrades are trouble enough.
