Certification will kill the development, once certified this means u have to
freze, or get the money for the expensive certifications over and over
again... this will force the free software into the commercial hands of
companies like SGI.
Don't get me wrong, i personally find it very cool what SGI or IBM is doing
for Linux... but I dont want them to gain power on the OS (as SuSE, RedHat
or so on).
