Ah now, that one is dead.

But I suspect a fair number of places run it without admitting it.

And last time I looked support was there until at least 2020.

For some definition of support.

AIX, Solaris, HP-UX and IRIX, proper Unix skills none of that Linux tulip.
So if you stop contacting me for Red Hat roles,
I will not block you in LinkedIn
I will probably Endorse you
But if you don’t,
I will do a ‘whois’ on you
I will give you false references
And I will spam you….

I usually threaten to steal their hair gel. Soon scares them off
