RHEL just tripled the size of its ISV ecosystem!

,----[ Quote ]
| Through that series of announcements, Red Hat is lining up its complete RHEL 
| strategy and making it clear that it can fit all deployment scenarios - 
| traditional or emerging - through the exact same RHEL bits. That proves the 
| flexibility of RHEL as a distribution and also factually multiplies the size 
| of RHEL’s ecosystem by further enabling all existing RHEL’s ISV on two new 
| emerging scenarios, Virtual Appliances and Cloud Computing. While that might 
| seem like a trivial statement, it is far from the truth. Just look at VMWare 
| for example: while they are getting great traction in the virtualization 
| field, it is going to be very difficult for them to enter the two emerging 
| fields discussed above, as they have a pretty much empty ISV ecosystem today. 
| And you don’t build an ISV ecosystem overnight (you can partner with one or 
| acquire one, but not build one overnight).

Red Hat aims to remake server messaging

That would be very disruptive.
