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. http://crunchtools.com/before-you-get-mad-about-the-centos-stream-change-think-about/ Various interesting comments: http://crunchtools.com/before-you-get-mad-about-the-centos-stream-change-think-about/#comment-647540 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.
