Oh good! This is great news!

So you've managed to get redhat to commit to continue to package an X server, then? I'm impressed by this achievement and send my thanks for your efforts - they've been trying to drop it for a while now, it's only wayland's continuing status as unusable vapourware that stops them.

You don't have to use Red Hat's products or code if you don't want to. There are plenty of competitors that might suit your needs and desires better.

Oh, I don't? This is news.

So to be clear, you're saying that you've spoken to the management at my company and convinced them to switch away from redhat?

If you could post a link to a copy of the email from the higher-ups, just so I have it in writing, that'd be rad. Thanks! :)

You accept money to work on Red Hat products, that is a choice you make. The owner/manager of the company you work at is free to decide what systems to use and then pay people to carry out her strategy/direction. You probably don't get to decide what kind of office chairs you buy either.
