I'm a "second generation refugee from XIV". XIV was a storage company started by Moshe Yanai, it pioneered many things in storage world. It was the catalyst that created many talented storage programmers that created their own successful companies: Infinidat, XtremIO, Weka, Elastifile, and many more. IBM acquired XIV... and ran it into the ground. To anyone who had this kind of experience with IBM the possibility of RHEL dying under the guidance of IBM was almost as good as certainty. My guess is that RHEL in not such a long time will take it's proud place somewhere between zLinux and AIX, and most will never hear from it again.
