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.
