    and what’s even worse, is that there’s nothing we can do about it

    Look I know it’s much easier said than done, but you can choose to walk away from IBM and Red Hat over this. If these changes start to lose money, they’ll respond. Otherwise they’ll see how much abuse their customers are willing to put up with and start doubling down.

      Do you mean that Fedora users should question if they want to keep using this distro? Because I do use Fedora, and I understand I’m “beta-testing” an enterprise product, but yeah, for me this changes my “relationship” with Red Hat. Or what do you mean?

        I just don’t want folks thinking they’re trapped, because that’s when a vendor will really start putting the screws to you.
