Oracle mostly does user-space stuff (that doesn't change), and has been pretty good about their Oracle-fs too - they're even actively discussing "git" issues on the git mailing list, and asking for help, and just generally being good members of the community. And IBM engineers are part of the people who change internal kernel interfaces in order to make it work better for them. Pretty much the ONLY people who ever complain about those internal kernel interfaces changing are the free-loaders. It's hard for them, because they don't want to play according to the rules. Tough.
