I did say harder, not hard or impossible.

Even Oracle had to work on it for 4-5 months before release, enough for
Red Hat to assert it self as the way to go if you want "the real thing".
That and change in how Kernel is distributed now (all patches are inside
one tar file, and not separate as they are in 5.x) tells me that
something IS going on, but limited enough not to show Red Hat as the bad
wolf. They are business owned by greedy shareholders after all is said
and done.
Anyhow, that is my personal impression and opinion, sharpened by many
years of double standards, blackmails, attacks, armed conflicts,
corrupted politicians and common thieves masked as fighters for
democracy, "civil and ascended" NGO's telling us we are all bunch of
murderers, etc., my country (Serbia) had endured (and still endures) in
last 20 years, all because we refused to surrender to NATO. In first
world war we lost 1/3 of the population fighting against Axis countries.
In second we lost 1/4 of population fighting against same Axis and
bombings of western side of Alied forces at the end of the war. Then in
1990 we endured western-intelligence-agencies-enticed civil war. Then we
were bombed in operation "Merciful Angel" in 1999 that bombed our
hospitals with cassette and uranium bombs, and you are now telling me
that world is in fact pink and corporations all play fair... If I am
wrong than I will have to start visiting shrink(s).
