a.k.a. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Few of us have careers long enough to remember purchasing SCO or HP-UX or similar and what that whole experience was like. We're positively blessed compared to how things were in the '90s.

Red Hat's leadership forgets what made them successful in the first place and wants those bad old days back badly.

When you're not at the top you want competition, since you are competition. When you're at the top you want to choke competition and gate as much as you can. It's a story as old as trade itself.
