It is not "a part" it is a stand alone product and not free.

RHCS is a layered product and can be acquired separately.

We decided to skip a major RHEL version.

Ok let us have one.
I am sorry, I have not been following the whole thread, just this mail
caught my eye so what kind of functionality we are looking for?
Can you formulate a "wish list" for your use case assuming the CA is a
part of IPA?
