Honestly, I think it will be.

But as a counter point:
 Have you ever really been able to count on a company? I haven't.

If red hat gets bought up and decides to change directions for some
reason guess where you might be with RHEL? Screwed. That's where. You
might have a contract that says they have to support you - but they can
offer the minimum possible resources to do that and still be w/i the
contract rules.

NEVER trust a vendor b/c they are a vendor - I'd much rather trust other
opensource developers to do the 'right thing' than I would to trust ANY
company to do the 'right thing'. After all, the 'right thing' for a
publicly held company is to make the most money for their shareholders.
