Indeed. For instance, RedHat in its infinite wisdom blessed us with pulseaudio (#worksinfedora), systemd (#notabug), GNOME 3 (#itsmodern), Network Manager (aka Notwork Mangler), Flatpack (#designedforshovelware) and many other Finely Designed Programs™. > Actually more than can be said about Canonical, for example (the latter > have at least given back to Debian by having Debian Developers on > payroll, so...) Canonical's famous for their NIH too. Mir, Unity, LXD - it's a long list, although RedHat has longer one. > As for the docker thingies... I get what they are supposed to do.
