I'm going to stay a on the meta-discussions level for a bit (all other points in this debate have already been made anyway). Hanlon's Razor is about assuming intent, about railroading others into perceived roles. You bring up interesting points, but they were not part of the article we are responding to. The conclusion was supposed to follow from the earlier arguments given. Within that context there is a big assumption being made.

So what am I being naive about, exactly? Note that I have merely called out the assumptions made by others. I have not stated anything about Red Hat's intentions myself, so if I'm being perceived as naive about that, it would be making another assumption. EDIT: I suppose the "mistake" wording does imply good faith behavior. But there too: bad faith should be looked out for, tested for, but not presumed about others.
