What I especially like about this article is it recognizes Redhat
malfeasance, and generalizes it as something that's anti-community and
also anti-user, whether the user knows it or not. I'm soooooo tired of
people giving lip service to technocracy, when comparing runit and s6
with their one (each) unpaid developer, vs systemd requiring a crew of
6 highly paid full time developers to keep from imploding.

The one improvement I can suggest with the article is to define all
acronyms once within the text. Because I'm from North America, I call
it "IT", and it took 10 minutes of looking up to find out that "ICT" is
a European acronym for basically the same thing. It took about 25
minutes to find out what an "SME" is.
