Brown-nosing... what a crock

While it's both easy and popular to think the Linux world revolves around [your distribution of choice here] let's not somehow make vacuous claims about one distro vs. another without at least, you know, evidence. SUSE doesn't follow RHEL as is evident to anybody familiar with both products. Sure, they have a lot of common products, like Linux, and OpenStack-based things, etc., but the timelines based firmly in reality and documented online show a lot of non-following, at least by SUSE, when it comes to adopting technologies. The filesystem is definitely no exception; XFS was free and commonly -used by SLES long before RHEL finally made it available to everybody. BtrFS's primary contributor isn't RH, but SUSE, followed by several others, and then possibly RH gets in there with a few commits now and then.

In other news, the [pick some government] announced it would no-longer support Bitcoin for transactions with the government..
