However, for any industry that is required to perform updates on a routine basis, or anything installed on an airgapped network, it makes it so much worse. For the most part, enterprise installs are done on dedicated hardware or dedicated VMs on hyperconverged infrastructure, NOT containers. It's possible that this is Red Hat's attempt to get in on that market? It is clear, at this point, that this is something that is only designed to benefit Red Hat, and not the Fedora community. -- John M.
