From the same article:

RHEL trees are forked off the Fedora repository, and released after a substantial stabilization and quality assurance effort.

Which adds a quote from the Fedora Project:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a commercial enterprise operating system and has its own set of test phases including alpha and beta releases which are separate and distinct from Fedora development.

And on that page[1] it states that RHEL6 is based on a "Mix of Fedora 12 Fedora 13 and several modifications".

Sorry to be pedantic, but that's significantly different than the Slackware model. Maybe it's just PTSD; I fled from RH in the old days onto the path that led to Slackware, so any comparison makes me touchy.
