You whooshed on the humor above, so I should spell it out. The point is exactly the opposite. This focus on tribal distro warfare obscures the objectively much more important threat posed by this lawsuit to the entire ecosystem.
I mean, no, you're simply wrong. SCO was a far, far, far larger threat to the Linux world than the fact that Red Hat inexplicably dragged their feet shipping yum on their enterprise distro.
And it's important, as a matter of history, to remember that period and the players and the resulting and continuing effects on our culture. While on the flip side, no one cares (or rather: no one should care) about the lessons of apt vs. yum, all of which have been recapitulated a thousand times since. Let it go.
