I'd rather help Debian and not see my work help IBM sell RHEL based on Fedora in the future.

Exactly. And users help them by testing and submitting bug reports, posting on forums/lists, etc. So my question stands, why help IBM at all in any way when you know what that is feeding into?

Local documentation does not exist anymore, in a practical form.

You need the official docs plus countless other resources from other people and for a relevant version of your software.

Gone are the days a few books and a computer was all you needed.

Your compiler is spilling out some weird message? Go scavenge the interwebs for someone who figured it out or spend your whole weekend in that.

Why help Red Hat at all when they are becoming more like IBM each day?
