ofc you realise that one of the major contributors to the Kubernetes ecosystem is Redhat.

So IBM now control key elements of k8s setups like etcd (a CoreOS project, ergo a Redhat Project, ergo an IBM project)

At the same time, K8S team has been rapidly standardizing everything and turning it into a very modular system. etcd is pretty much a "done" project, but if it ever goes bad, it can easily be replaced.

If IBM ever takes etcd in a direction that k8s does not like, the k8s fork of etcd will be the one that's relevant going forward.
