When there is no option which does not include their "support", which I
can obtain locally at far better prices, and with far, far better
response times, I consider it overpriced. It is subjective.

And would Red Hat be "the standard linux distribution" without the
people who promoted their brand because it was reasonably priced at $79

CentOS will continue, even if RedHat is purchased by Microsoft and
absorbed by the borg...
