That is the direction. But it will take many years before ESXi usage
has declined enough to drop off that list. A lot of companies are
seriously pissed off over the price increases, but there are also
a lot of solutions where a migration from ESXi to KVM will be
considered too risky/costly, so the switch will first happen
when the solutions get replaced.
