    This is an enemy of my enemy case.

    It makes sense to trust Oracle in this instance as they stand to lose if IBM has sole control over enterprise Linux.

    However, remember that as soon as the profit motive is gone, Oracle’s support will also vanish.

      There is no universe in which Oracle is doing the right thing. In all the myriad multiverse, Oracle is never the good guy. Ever.

        In this case specifically, they are doing the right thing, but for all the wrong reasons.

        You’re right. Oracle is definitely not the good guy here, it’s just that their goals happen to align right now.

      Forgive me for not cheering so long as they are fighting outside of a literal gladiatorial ring.

      Until then, the chance of collateral damage is far too great.
