SystemD is definitely attacked as NIH (and every other pejorative people can think of). And zfs fans say btrfs is NIH, etc, etc. I'd say RedHat gets just as much flak in that regard as Canonical.
- throw2016 10y agoSystemd was a highly controversial project and was attacked for a lot of technical and complexity reasons, not NIH. Btrfs origin is an Oracle project. We are taking about a section of the community who carry the flag for Redhat and dismiss anything not from that ecosystem as NIH. A typical example to show this is Snappy which precedes Flatpak. No one attacks Flatpak for NIH or demands they join hands with Ubuntu Snappy. Yet Snappy is routinely attacked as NIH and presented as another example of Ubuntu doing its own thing. There is definitely double standards and politics at play here.
