| schestowitz[TR3] | Perhaps the Chinese team were no longer considered a good cultural fit for Indian Business Machines. | Apr 11 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Or perhaps it’s just the usual race to the bottom with cost. | Apr 11 07:14 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | Si you take the contract away from one race, give it to another , neither of which is yours and you somehow manage to think that that is rascism ? | Apr 11 07:14 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | If the PRC had a need for a more or less RHEL compatible distro they could easily pick up Alma or Rocky and run with that even downstreaming a custom Chinese version from one (or both.) Even SuSE would be an option. | Apr 11 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | My guess RHEL systems in PRC organisations are less prevalent and less important than they are in in other nations. | Apr 11 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | I imagine the discarded staff might find work locally with third party support and localisation-customisation services for Linux software and distros. | Apr 11 07:14 |
