Please, stop spreading hogwash - there are options beyond those
two. FYI: RH is not the only distribution using glibc. Debian also uses
it, for one. Moreover, "everything from bootsector" bit is pure BS -
installing glibc is not a rocket science. BTW, WTF does "industry leader"
mean?

Sheesh... It's really getting to nerves. I have nothing against Red Hat,
but some of their, erm, happy customers...

I'll abstain from giving personal advice regarding what to do with your
one. Please, get a clue - it may help you to avoid making a fool of
yourself.
