FYI, RH Satellite doesn't support deb, but Foreman does (state from 3 years ago). RH has no interest in fixing this, for some strange reason.

    It’s not in Red Hat interest to accommodate other package managers.

    Exactly. Despite on the tin saying they support rpm and deb both. Official reaction (to a major gov customer): wontfix.

    If you’re big enough, interoperability still costs and provides little benefit. Vendor lock-in is also a thing between distros.

    If you want to provision a mix of different VMs in a sizable environment using Satellite and can't, it's a strike against a RH ecosystem. Another strike is susceptibility to US sanctions. And a third one: you should see what RH consultants charge, and aggregate cost of RH licenses.

    These days any sane mid-sized government should encourage local open source ecosystem and talent. And be it just for the sake of souvereignity.
