@nixCraft I'm only about a 51% yes vote. Losing some seems inevitable between the "you're not open anymore" crowd, the "we'll pay less to anyone" crowd, and the "shrug, it's just another distro" crowd. I'm a little hazy on how some things will be bug-for-bug compatible if RH is back-porting fixes that don't necessarily ever go up-stream, but then I'm in the "never touch anything with Oracle's taint on it if possible" crowd...

@ChrisPetersenCS @nixCraft

I would be interested in what Oracle has done that makes you not trust them so much. Could be enlightening.

@BlueBee @nixCraft Gaming benchmarks, wildly misleading ad campaigns, massive failures of technical support, price gouging, etc. But, why would I willing do business with a company justifiably infamous for extortionate licensing terms and threatening to sue their own customers (and everyone else) over and over? The f'ups around their T4 hardware generation left a lot of lasting scars...
