This purchase is about CoreOS and having a strong k8s play. I doubt fedora even was on the radar of the suits.

...and it's that lack of radar blip that concerns me about Fedora.  The suits don't know that they will own fedora, what it is, or how it contributes to the bottom line. It will look like a cost center with no return to the bean counters and that _could_ make it a target.

But we'll have to wait and see what influence the IBM corporate management chooses to exert on the RH "division"
