Then flee from RedHat AND clones. RedHat can do things making life of
clones hard, different, constantly needing to invest into change. And they may give up.
But it is your decision about your future, and yours to deal with
consequences.
Am I not stating the obvious?

I appreciate your playing Captain Obvious, as well as your polite style of trying to shut me up.
Let me play Captain Obvious as well.
The December RH announcement came while I was in a middle of upgrading a number of CentOS installations. Switching to different distributions might be both time consuming and tricky, especially in case of big companies. We already switched many servers/VMs to alternate distributions, but there are RHEL-based ones we just can't leave, and PITA that RH initiated doesn't help at all.
Actually, I'll make use of that last RH offer on less-critical servers, which can be, if required, quickly shut down and re-formatted under different distributions.
I assist in maintaining several RHEL installations, and I brought several paying customers to RH during those many years. I assume you understand that I will express my concerns without asking anyone's permission.
Thanks again.
