I appreciate your playing Captain Obvious, as well as your polite style
of trying to shut me up.
Let me play Captain Obvious as well.
The December RH announcement came while I was in a middle of upgrading a
number of CentOS installations. Switching to different distributions
might be both time consuming and tricky, especially in case of big
companies. We already switched many servers/VMs to alternate
distributions, but there are RHEL-based ones we just can't leave, and
PITA that RH initiated doesn't help at all.
Actually, I'll make use of that last RH offer on less-critical servers,
which can be, if required, quickly shut down and re-formatted under
different distributions.
I assist in maintaining several RHEL installations, and I brought
several paying customers to RH during those many years. I assume you
understand that I will express my concerns without asking anyone's
permission.
Thanks again.
