In my not so humble opinion...
...It's waste of money for Broadcom to buy a business that paywalls features added onto open source software. Broadcom hates FLOSS ecosystems unless it will cost them sales. Because of this I think it will only lead to increasing the stagnation rate of an open septic tank. Decades ago VMware lost the ability to stay ahead of the FLOSS innovation curve and they have been riding their momentum since. I have a hard time believing that they have another $61 Billion of momentum left.
Of course it's also possible next year a Big Mac will cost $1,000.
