Let me paraphrase: "All the questionable Redhat-backed additions like systemd and Networkmanager aren't great or particularly fit and fixing them so plugging in network cables doesn't disrupt existing connections was too hard. Have downgraded security instead. If you care just re-enable and suffer our broken stack."

GCC 2.96, Pulse Audio, NetworkManager, systemd... I've assumed the death of (truly open) Linux would be at the hands of Redhat, this is just another stab wound.
