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.
