I'm making no defense of Canonical. I'm not an Ubuntu user. Redhat has been doing the right thing for years, with paid employees in prominent positions throughout the ecosystem, including the kernel, as you note. The problem is that they've taken all that goodwill and soft power and weaponized it to back GNOME against Unity.

Frankly i think they are more worried about Oracle than they are about Canonical. While RH and Oracle has a long history of cooperation, Oracle now have their own distro thats a fork of RHEL. This fork prompted RH to end some policies that made life easy for CentOS (who now happens to be sponsored by RH), regarding the packaging of various patches.
