Those actions from IBM appear to fit well with the attack first outlined
by m$ in the late 1990s in the leaked files now known as the Halloween
Documents:

M$ was not able to make headway with that attack, but IBM seems to have
found itself in a position to do so along with enough 'former'
microsofters on the payroll to have the ambition to do so too. The
executives which knew how to turn a quick and easy profit on large
($1bn) investments in Linux have been long gone from IBM and it shows.

I can't help package full packages but I could help convert unit files
to SysV and OpenRC, if there are not too many bureaucratic steps.
