[–] ulu_mulu@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) It's most probably IBM forcing it, but yeah it's dumb. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] staticlifetime@kbin.social 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) I don't know about that. IBM is traditionally stupid, yeah, but they wanted Red Hat for a reason. The CentOS debacle altogether was Red Hat, not IBM, and I don't think they are doing too much day to day operational mandates for stuff like this. I would not be surprised if this was just a Red Hat thing. I know it's easy to blame IBM, but I don't think it's that simple. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) they wanted Red Hat for a reason. They were dying and they needed a cash cow to milk. The only way that was gonna work is if they didn't kick the cow and spoil that milk like they've kicked every cow before it. And they can't stop, so they're just kicking away. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bishopolis@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 years ago if they didn’t kick the cow and spoil that milk like they’ve kicked every cow before it I miss Cringely's take on this. permalink fedilink source parent
