Google was apparently in the running for acquiring Red Hat. I still wonder what Red Hat would be today if Google had acquired instead.

much, much worse

Yes I agree, given the direction G has been going. I was disappointed at the time, but it was probably a blessing in disguise

honestly I think it's a net positive (for me at least) because it ensures Fedora has great POWER support (I'll never be able to afford a POWER machine at this rate, but the architecture is an absolute pleasure to work with whenever I have to)
