When I last looked into it, I came away with the feeling that github.com/containers is pretty much RedHat without any official backing.

That’s how Red Hat operates mostly. Time will tell if IBM royally messes this up but Red Hat is an upstream first company. If they need something they will put up the developer time but it will be a community project first that they repackage for RHEL.

Red Hat’s secret sauce so to speak is the stupid amount of ongoing work it takes to actually maintain a distro, not the software itself.

So is IBM from what I've seen.

IBM + RedHat have more contributors working on OSS than Google, surprisingly.
