Not unpopular, but impulsive.Timing is wrong - should have been done
earlier or later , but not now.The RHEL programs should have been
established before announcing such stuff.
Stream could be great, could be worse - we will see. With those
mistakes , many people will be disgusted by anything RH has touched
which includes Stream,and will reduce the addoption rate by a
magninute.Even I'm considering if I should invest more time learning
RHEL products and switching to other interesting stuff.
