Well, subscribers kinda do get it "early".  Or at least hassle free. 
While everyone else is looking for low traffic ftp mirrors, subscribers 
can get a fast connection from RH w/o searching around. Also, orders for 
boxed sets are taken the same day as the downloadable isos are made 
available so there is a delay in getting the boxed set mailed to you 
that a RHN subscriber won't see.
