I chuckled at the obvious satire. However, I have heard of 'sysadmins' that are complaining with less humour in their voices. The 'pure sysadmin' role is alive and strong. Those being forced out by devops are either not very good or the organization's culture is at odds with what a true sysadmin is expected to do for them.

Also, in before, "Lol, Windows admin". I cringed when I saw a registry reference.
