Red Hat announced yesterday that the sources for RHEL will no longer be accessible from git.centos.org. This effectively locks their source changes behind a subscription to RHEL, that costs money.

    We’re (US) is in a growth cycle. This is a common thing – the companies need to try to keep up with growth/markets, so squeeze people for more money. Reddit is doing it – trying to IPO. Red Hat is doing it with this, though for me they’ve never been compelling or useful – I’m shocked they’ve hung on this long. Their products in my (very limited) experience are mediocre.

      You aren’t Red Hat’s target customer. Their target is a large corporation that not only wants to pay for official support, but often needs to thanks to regulations or the like.
