Yeah that makes it a lot harder to remove old support tickets. Probably why the hackers are now sitting on 5years worth of data. Red Hat really didn’t have to keep that data this long
Not only did they not have to keep it this long - there are a handful of better ways to store that data
IBM for the win everybody.
For a second there I thought this was going to be a "Linux source code leaked by hackers" sort of deal.
