> When they do it by screwing over their users, yes. I agree that screwing over your users is a bad thing, but I do think RH contribute a lot of time, money and effort in a way that benefits a larger Linux user base. Just by looking at Linux kernel contributions, RH are one of the largest companies contributing developer time. > Introducing non-portable ways of doing things that were previously portable to non-Linux OSs. I think SysVinit was going to be replaced sooner than later. There's a lot to be desired in a way that some systemd developers evangelized it, but the other major alternative (upstart) was also a Linuxism. Even BSD systems are moving (or considering moving) away from it. From all the "standard" Unixisims, I think that's one of the parts that's aged the worst, and it was a matter of time before various operating systems (BSDs, Linux distros,...) replaced it.
