Not only is this a brilliant troll, it's also true. Oracle could easily take this on if it's such a burden for IBM.
- BeefWellington 3y agoThey really couldn't. If you've ever worked with OEL in any technical capacity you can kinda tell Oracle doesn't have a shred of the Linux expertise that Red Hat does. They can report to upstream (RHEL) but that's about it. It's trite and funny of them to troll IBM but it's a laughable idea. If Red Hat were to take them up on it it would be a disaster within probably weeks. The decision by Red Hat/IBM here is incredibly shortsighted and stupid.
