It's not Linux. It's RedHat who is pushing their agenda and does not give a crap about embedded market.

Non-RH developers seem willing to go along. At least I presume that more than only RH developers are involved.

Imagine this: you're a volunteer developer who has to go against decisions made by someone who has been payed. What are your options?

You're also not concerned about embedded systems, but the software you're working on is still good for it.

Now imagine this: you're the embedded developer who used to use that software. What are your options?

Best Regards,
Georgi

You obviously have answers to those questions, and they likely differ from mine.

A. If I'm the project lead, I'd accept reasonable patches to support their needs as an option. If they are the poject lead, or the lead excludes alternatives, I move on, possibly maintaining a fork / patches.

B. That's obviously not the case or we wouldn't be having the discussion. Elaborating would be, I'll say "out of scope."

C. You've implied the developer has stopped using the software, so I presume said developer has a solution. Patch, it, fork it, write something new, retire after beating the House in Las Vegas?
