What concerns me about the Red Hat acquisition is just how much of what we consider "Linux" is developed and controlled by Red Hat employees. Look at things like Gnome, PulseAudio, and systemd. Canonical and other Linux companies very rarely have this kind of impact across the entire ecosystem.

actually amazon linux is basically a CentOS fork.

Yes, exactly that. IBM has the chance now to repeat history with the tables turned in IBMs favor

How does that happen being "assume a miracle"?
