I only have a modicum of respect for this company after they butchered CentOS.

  IBM's acquisition caused this, don't blame only RedHat

    Ah yes, IBM: the software company that still thinks Rational ClearCase is a great version control system.

      Given the amount of money in the bank versus many wannabe startups, they are somehow right. And yes, ClearCase does stuff that many alternatives to this days still has issues dealing with. With ClearCase I already had object files caching across the build cluster without extra stuff, a nice graphical management tooling, and I never messed my view specification files, like I routinely need to fix my Git repos.
      • midoridensha 3y ago
        ClearCase doesn't even have the concept of related changes in multiple files being part of the same commit. How you can even compare that to a modern VCS I have no idea.

          It clearly supports changesets, maybe you're were holding it wrong.

            Keyword: UCM activities.

    They bought CentOS in 2014 which was long before IBM.

  Which honestly is going to bite them. The on-ramp from CentOS when small and RHEL once you’re big enough to need support is gone. It’s Ubuntu/Debian all the way down now.

    This… it was a natural flow. I’ve switched to Ubuntu too but my muscle memory is Redhat so still sometimes annoying- never got into Debian though
