Re: Cloud fad
I agree with your general point but, this, no:
> No way RedHat would have paid this loser and team to do this much major work if there wasn't that pot of gold perceived at the end of the rainbow.
Reason: you are assuming RedHat is rational.
I discovered RedHat had been completely hijacked by the corporate parasites over 5 years ago. This means they follow memes and internal coolnesses/emotion, rather than anything actually rational. Source: temp.flatmate worked there. Stories of utter madness, same as the big US corporates I'd worked in.
They were even then chucking out topspec machines (personal: laptops etc) just so people could have the newest shinyshiny.
I'm typing on one right now. Free. I keep the redhat sticker on it to remind me they've been hijacked.
