    Don’t besmirch Red Hat this way. Red Hat is as dead as Sun Microsystems at this point. They’re just being Weekend at Bernie’s-ed by IBM. Despite IBMs promise of independent operation and business as usual.

        Red Hat is gone. The leadership, vision, people, and culture that made Red Hat Red Hat are gone. IBM has completely taken over internally. Red Hat’s logo is being paraded around to keep people complacent due to their former reputation.

          I think it’s a cop out to blame any of this on IBM as these kinds of changes started before the acquisition.

          I also don’t know who you mean when you say the people are gone as most of the executive leadership have been with the company for a decade or two.

          I guess I was sad when they killed shadowman but that was before IBM too!

        they’re hardly dead…

        It’s a matter of perspective. Just like how microsoft is dead for a lot of us because we don’t use their products, the same can be said about IBM and red hat.

    As a former RedHat advocate it sucks honestly, I have to find companies like Rancher and Suse that off truly FOSS products now. Like I want opensource devs to get paid if they are being depended on, but the RedHat paywall makes avoiding the vendor lock or trying to be cost flexible a legal land mine. They also offer more and more proprietary rebrands of FOSS projects that I fear will get EEEd as well.
