Plenty of blood being spilled over there. Think there are a couple of
the original CentOS devs who I remember proudly being given their Red
Hats who probably now feel a dagger sticking out their back.

This caught the eye.

But as someone pointed out RH revenue in 2018 was like $3.4 billion

So the reasoning is far from clear cut - it isn't really all about cash
in the strictest sense (it will be there somewhere clearly).

Anyone see the dark hand of IBM being waved in the background? Want
a more cutting edge rapid release version for their Cloud stuff?

Fedora -> CentOS -> RH ?

"it’s not about making money, it’s about out growing your competitors"
(and dumping a few 'free loaders' I guess)

You need to be pushing the curve in that case. CentOS did not fit.

I have to say personally I was surprised CentOS agreed to be 'bought
out' in the first place, and then always expected this day would come.
That air of inevitability.

Hey ho.
