Can someone comment on what does this mean for VMware? On one hand this supports their new vSphere offering, but on the other it provides a competition for managed Kubernetes clusters. In the FAQ they write "Adding bare-metal support will address customer desire to eliminate the license cost and operational overhead of managing VMware." But is this really going to happen with enterprises running on bare metal serves? Seems rather unrealistic.
Hillel Steiner is a pretty well-known political philosopher, and this topic is right up his alley. It's much more likely that whoever contributed those sentences to Wikipedia borrowed them from Steiner and/or whoever he's quoting from (whether knowingly or not) than the other way around.
