RedHat wanted it done once Lennart convinced them it is the right thing to do and Lennart put in the effort to be at RedHat at the right time to have the ability to convince them.
In fact Lennart is one of the few people willing to put in the effort to touch the fundamental building blocks that otherwise rot, but nobody is willing to touch.

Yeah, I guess it's not that bad that in FLOSS, the people willing to ultimately sit down and put in the time and effort to actually write the code, even the non-sexy bits, get to steer the project over Hacker News commenters.
That's not the worst outcome out there if you ask me.
