[GTALUG] Looks like IBM is planning to eliminate RHEL

[Evan Leibovitch]

I've spoken to some actual Red Hat employees who they said the article has
been widely circulated and has served as a good laugh. No booms are being
lowered that they're aware of and morale remains decent.

I'm wary of the source based on Dr. Ray's previous articles.He's obsessed
with Microsoft (such as an article that claims Richard Stallman's successor
at the FSF is a Microsoft stooge
<http://techrights.org/2020/08/06/fsf-microsoft-github/>) and the site has
an ongoing series called "Billwatch
<http://techrights.org/billwatch-resurrected/>". Another recent example is
an article headlined
"People Who Believe Global Warning is a ‘Hoax’ Are the Types Who Might
Think Microsoft Really Loves Linux
<http://techrights.org/2020/07/31/the-microsoft-hoax/>".

Anyway, you get the idea. Healthy skepticism about Redmond's intentions are
healthy, but not when pushed to conspiracy-theory levels. And now the same
treatment is being applied to IBM.
