Its important to distinguish two aspects here in this whole discussion.<br>
<br>
Its great that RH opens their "firewalls". CentOS Stream is great<br>
for that but what actually pissed the people off is the termination<br>
of CentOS8 Linux. So all arguments for C8S doesn't touch the problem<br>
that people have now. And no - C8S is not a valid substitution. Its<br>
valid for a different usage scenario that is of course worth to get a <br>
chance but the mentioned problem don't get addressed ...<br>
