> It's also fairly transparent that RedHat would like Linux to be more obfuscated so that more enterprises will have to depend on it for support.

This is not a fair criticism to levy against an entire Linux distro company. There are many people at RedHat, SUSE, etc that very much cafe about the future of the Linux ecosystem and abhor the idea of obfuscating the operating system.

Sincerely, a SUSE developer who abhors the idea of obfuscating the operating system.
