I constantly hear other RHEL/Debian sysadmins complain about the time it takes RedHat to plug a leak in the kernel, while the Debian patch has already been released.
If that is the case, that would mean that they are only using RHEL for its extra drivers...
From what I have noticed, a lot of said drivers are published by the vendor of the hardware, so technically they can be copied from the vendor into Ubuntu. (Like they do with ATi and nVidia)
