I think you'll discover that "degree of obnoxiousness" has a significant effect on whether people are prepared to provide support contracts.
A local PostgreSQL user group had several consultants singing the non-praises of a particular client (which shall remain nameless!).
This client was in the habit of not paying them on a timely basis, and of treating them fairly shabbily, in general.
That sort of thing tends to lead to people being uninterested in taking the support contract...
