I did the math
Followed by a logical conclusion that sold this as trolling to me
The trouble is, once the parent company starts merging some departments, shareholders often push to merge more departments.
Especially since they are talking about all the money they will save cutting jobs.
Based on the time frames for this, I'm going to guess by the end of 2026 the engineering team will shrink, followed by a 2027 announcement of merging departments for better management, and RedHat basically be just IBM entirely by 2028.
If I still had any servers on RH for work, I'd be planning my moves right about now (personally I started the shift after the 2023 announcement on source code availability, finalized the last three servers in June actually).
Really quite a shame to see how things have changed.
Anyway, I'd suspect there are at least a couple years left before its a mess.
You have to go pretty far into pedantry... Which makes it a huge reach.
Its a valid comment to say its a reach, and also extremely valid to say this mod was reaaaaaaaccchhhing with their actions.
Looks like a pretty obvious case of PTB for me...
The reasoning given is even more of a reach than "wind=solar".
