This purchase is about CoreOS and having a strong k8s play. I doubt
fedora even was on the radar of the suits.
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"
With this amount of money involved, I'd rather think the "suits" know
about everything that's RedHat-ish. If not, they've not done their
due dilligence.

Sure they are aware, but fedora did not factor into the decision, other than being something on a list somewhere. Fedora existing or not did not factor into this. It's all about positioning themselves to compete in the k8s space.
