I use docker, too, and it's absolutely trivial to add the .repo file for the official docker repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/. "Yanked away" is pretty strong and unwarranted, IMO.


The issue with this is that it's no longer covered by Red Hat's support and lifecycle, which is why most people pay for RHEL anyway.


You can pay docker for business licences to get commercial support. At the level where you think about getting it, I honestly can't feel bad about the extra cost to the company.


Adding repos from third parties is not always allowed due to political/security considerations. Besides when paying for Redhat based on it being better/more "stable" then them breaking all your stuff by removing it is absolutely an issue.
