Public statements are garbage and just sales pitches to reassure investors. Unless Red Hat's deal legally mandated things stay a certain way in actual words written in a contract, then it's literally nothing and IBM can gut the place tomorrow if they wanted to. This happens all the time with acquisitions. Most notable is TravisCI firing what, most of their senior staff 6 months after acquisition?

Proof will come in the actions that follow. If you see changes in how Red Hat behaves in the community feel free to let me know - @bradmicklea on Twitter.
