• "depends how to define active development. Like most of IBM, Power, IBM i, AIX etc has been gutted and moved to India. There is virtually NO NEW ISV development being done for Power that people care about. Red Hat literally does not know or care what Power is and think Power are IBM power supplies."

• "And I am not kidding. When we tried to train them and work with them they said "...we do nor care about Power; we dance with whoever brought us to the prom; if you bring us a customer asking to run RHEL and OpenShift on Power we can figure out how we might support you but until then no thanks...". Red Hat also did ZERO development for watsonx on Power."
