Looks likely that the deprecation is politically, rather than technologically, motivated.
I would say commercial. They always try to avoid nih so they are stronger in knowledge and can sell support more easily
I would only agree here if they were not developing their own in house product. This is very much like the Xen / KVM situation a decade ago.
sorry bad wording of mine. I meant that they always try to not sell NIH stuff because having an internal product always gives them more knowledge an therefore competitive advantage at consultancy level. No one is more expert in a product then the author of the product.
My view of RH has always been the same: If they can escalade in a community and have employees inside a community with relevant contributions they can reach adequate knowledge, but if someone else is better positioned in the community, they tend to lag knowledge and very often switch on another product.
I've seen this as an explanation for Xen/KVM, now this seems the same with FS, and other times they did the same.
This is not bad or good it is just the market.That's understandable to me.
