This is a pretty heavily opinionated article, for what it's worth. But, it's worth checking if you're into enterprise-versions of Linux.

what gave Redhat a big "shot in the arm" as they say was US Gov contracts for things like Blue Force Tracker and similar software that the Army uses - that run on Redhat made them literally millions, now owned by IBM which is now making them millions - so maybe Leeuwen can seek in a take the bid from under IBM/Redhat when that contract reopens - who knows

I don't dare make any predictions. Like you said, 'who knows'?

It will be something I try to keep up with.
