#3Sad! It takes years of rock solidness to make a name in Linux for reliability, and basically one stupid decision to destroy a reputation.
CentOS brought people in to the EcoSystem as an alternative to Debian Based distros and that is sadly no more.

#4Personally, I'm very happy the new RedHat showed their true colors so fast: it helped me decide to leave their ecosystem.
EDIT: added "the new" to qualify the statement about RedHat, as indeed it's IBM at play. No amount of "kernel support" is worth the trouble of dealing with them.

they have no face, just a series of rules, methods, procedures,..etc. in all, a culture desgined by multiple generations of firm executives optimized to make profit in any way they can.

Businesses aren't your friends, repeat it with me, no matter how much propoganda they regularly spew out. Sometimes their goals may be temporarily aligned with yours in which case you can leverage their resources but never forget their goals can shift to be misaligned with yours at any point, making them a partial or direct enemy of your goals.
A business exists to make money and wealth for someone or some people. If that's not you, then they're not there to help you. I should point out that there are classes of businesses that do exist somewhat as an exception, certain charities and non-profits, but those aren't representative of the vast majority. Even they often aren't necessarily there to help you per se.
