I'm surprised it took this long. It is/was inevitable.

FWIW, IBM knows they are a dinosaur and are trying to rectify that. They are hiring competent execs from outside and putting them in very high positions in the org in an attempt to remake IBM to be a more nimble tech company.

> According to a communication sent to employees, those in General & Administrative areas will join IBM, including the lion's share of the people working in the HR, finance, accounting, and legal units at Red Hat.
So it seems like engineering is still separate?

Retired Red Hatter here. I hope IBM learns a few things from the Red Hatters they onboard. HR especially had some neat ideas, like ‘Recharge Week’, nearly universal shutdown of the company over Christmas.
