Red Hat (IBM) Has Long 'Reassigned' (Bluewashed) Red Hat Staff to Ruin Fedora, Now It Does the Same to GNOME

IBM sinks and IBM stinks. Notice the headline of this page; Krishna is playing the media and ruining everything IBM has.

Some years ago we gave examples of the troubled IBM technically (or in an HR sense) ruining Fedora, aside from the slop. One memorable example was, people who had long packaged important software/packages (such as LibreOffice) for Fedora were 'assigned' to do something else, hence abandoning key tasks or leaving some so-called 'apps' (not a GNU/Linux term) orphaned.

We recently pointed out further 'attacks' on Fedora, both removal of staff and promotion of slop that neither developers nor users wanted.

Now, after several years, Michael Catanzaro from Red Hat (IBM) says that GNOME security gardening and patching may be orphaned.

What next from IBM's Krishna? A decade ago he 1) said blockchains were the future (he was wrong!); 2) insisted IBM should buy Red Hat.

So Ginni and the Board did.

Now we see what it leads to. █
