Wow I'm just so surprised. I was there when they were bought out and they kept saying over and over again it's a separate company. And I always said "for now". What a shocker.
Management kept telling us based on the acquisition IBM wasn't allowed to fully consume Red Hat. Again which I said " for now".
Oh so surprised ... Fuck corporations. I sit have friends at Red Hat and it just keeps getting worse there from what I hear. Quantity is more important than quality.
If you're a customer the only way to get a resolution now is demand a phone call as they're no longer able to deny that and work on the case. They're just a call center and not real support.

Soooo....
Is a probable downstream effect going to be the loss of (FOSS) support for fedora?

I’m genuinely curious about this too. I’ve found Fedora to be such a nice OS to use, I’d be devastated if big blue’s corpo greed destroys it.
