But how many paying customers? It's slightly different also because Github may not want to lose non-paying customers either, because of name recognition and not wanting competitors being seen much, but I don't think the IBM acquisition will sway most people that are using CentOS, since it's already somewhat divorced from RHEL proper.

No, it's incredibly different to compare the number of customers who might leave Red Hat to the number of customers who left Github. The services are not even close to being similar, and the customers are generally not even close to being similar.

  > it's incredibly different to compare the number of customers who might leave Red Hat to the number of customers who left Github. I don't think it's that different. Github makes somewhere around 50% of it's revenue from enterprise customers.[1] That said, my point was that they aren't very similar, so we seem to be saying the same thing, you just seem to be doing so rather aggressively. 1: https://www.businessinsider.com/githubs-enterprise-service-brings-in-half-its-200-million-in-sales-2017-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/githubs-enterprise-service-b...
