Please forgive my paranoid rant, but all this looks to me more and more
as if they (Red/mond/hat) are trying to steer the community towards a
breakable, «user friendly», expert-user unfriendly, desktop version of
GNU / Linux, in order to sell a «special», «enterprise grade» version to
whomever wants a stable, high quality product.

IMHO, at some point we will have to start ignoring whatever they do.
