And we know it very well, indeed. They have always made money by
convincing their customers that they are able to isolate them from
complexity. Thus, actively contributing to let complexity proliferate
is the key for their business to continue. I personally got it around
the end of 2002, when RH8.0 went out. That was the first example of
how the corporate policy was all about adding complexity just for the
sake of including more tools to deal with that complexity, in a
spiralling circle.
