I hope HPE are not reducing themselves down to a size that's
small enough to be sold off or taken over (although to be
honest I doubt that they are.)

I wonder if they really are trying to get back to a core set
of business sectors - if so I hope they don't mess it up
because there are some positives in having a core set of
business areas which they can focus on without distractions.
