I concede that one. Have an upvote.

Ok.

Fresh steaming proof as requested:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_severity=urgent&...

All high severity bugs against 7.1 which was relased 16 days ago. Check the dates on half of them. They're before the release date and half of them haven't even been assigned or triaged.

When 7.0 came out, datetimectl and systemd didn't even work properly. Enabling ntp threw dbus errors galore. On some kit it didn't even boot. Total lemon.

RHEL doesn't generally work properly until the .2 releases. I've been using it for 10 years so I've got plenty of experience on the matter.

I would go into detail about the CIFS/smb kernel hangs I've had on 6.x but I've had enough of it by now.

RH don't have a great reputation here. Unlike Debian which does proper triage and practices "zero release-critical bugs", RH threw out RHEL7 with loads of critical issues still open.

Which bit?

Oh give me a break. This isn't star trek and you're not Picard.

Three simple words derail all idealism in your post:

Corruption. Power. Poverty.

You don't smash people's knees in because you've never had to so you can solicit a payment that you entered a contract and need to eat for the next couple of weeks and you approach the authorities and they've been paid off or don't give a shit.

Humans don't look after each other very well, even if you do.

I simply admit that smashing kneecaps is a valid recourse in a world with the above concerns.

You might want to live in Brazil or South Africa for a bit.

Bailiffs and debt collectors are two different concepts.

Yes. It was good for me and it was good for the other person too. Why? Because it enforces society's moral standards upon everyone. If there is no common ground it descends into anarchy because if someone owes me £1500 I'm going to pay £200 to smash his kneecaps if there wasn't a court and bailiff option...

Court appointed bailiffs have been used by myself to recover owed cash on a couple of occasions so they serve a purpose and a good one. If people enter a contract they can't fulfil then there needs to be a method to obtain appropriate compensation.

As for the rest, I agree.

Actually that's really interesting. Thanks for the detailed reply.
