I think he was probably envisioning Redhat creating a from-scratch
kernel. This would further differentiate Redhat, and would lock their
users into Redhat. I think Nate's point is Redhat's scared to do that
until Redhat has everyone ensnared in their hard-to-remove obfuscation
code (otherwise known as systemd).

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean Redhat isn't out to get me.
