I agree - I don't feel picked on :D I guess my point is that it's overly dismissive to say "no free work for companies on niche architectures" when projects backed by the same company were a bit blind-sided by this and a bunch of people lost time chasing down what happened and why. To me that's a sign that this isn't just a mismatch of ideology or someone wanting free work: it was a failure in communication and mismatched expectations. If it had just been on a major version bump, I wonder if we'd even be having this discussion.
- steveklabnik 6y agoGlad to hear it :) I think it gets really hard the larger the company you talk about. Before I worked at bigger places, I assumed a lot more coherence than is actually the case.
- rodgerd 6y agoSure, but the message - that if it's a problem for Red Hat's Ansible team or Red Hat's mainframe Linux team, they should be doing the work needed to make it not a problem. Ansible Tower subscriptions aren't exactly cheap, and neither is RHEL s390x. If there's not the fat to be uplifting the core infrastructure needed to run RHEL or Ansible on Red Hat's products, that's most likely a choice.
