It's interesting to me that anyone would bother to do so. IBM has been
an explicit Linux contributor and beneficiary for a long time. All
flavors run on IBM hardware quite well, a mutually beneficial
relationship.

Hopefully some brain-dead MBA won't get it into his head to try to
make "special" drivers so RedHat works better on IBM systems than
other flavors. Bad, bad, bad idea.

One can hope systemd dies utterly.
