> I'm 99.99% certain that if you ran "pip install numpy" on your RHEL7 box, and it's infected by a cryptominer the next day due to a know vulnerabilty, Redhat support are gonna laugh you off the phone when you call them up asking what they're gonna do about it...

If course they don't do fixes for all of pip / PyPI, nobody does/can be reasonably expected to do. They explicitly only cover what they ship (which does includes numpy and scipy, but not pandas). If you can demonstrate an exploit with just "yum install numpy" I'm pretty sure they'll work on it.
