They break your systems and still get a good sleep at night

When they break things they do not offer anything in return and always refuse to roll back the bad change:

$ sudo dnf install jdk-8u111-linux-x64.rpm 
[sudo] password for adm7:

Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests

  - nothing provides /bin/sort needed by jdk1.8.0_111-2000:1.8.0_111-fcs.x86_64

The reason? They moved the base system tools around. Motivation? Who knows why. Probably out of spite and disdain for users.

$ which basename
/usr/bin/basename
[adm7@localhost Java]$ which cp
/usr/bin/cp
[adm7@localhost Java]$

Try to report this to distro maintainers, and they will 1) deride you; 2) ignore you; 3) ban you.

Someone should give them a strong reality check and teach them that such behavior is unacceptable. But most of us in IT world do not give a damn.
