That's the 'Extinguish' bit. Comes after 'Embrace' and
'Extend'.<br>

<div>Uhhh, there is no Extinguish in Open Source. That's the
entire point. We embraced, we extended. If others want to
carry on the torch they are more than welcome to do so.</div>

<p>Again, a fair way of doing things would have been, Hey guys since
we Red Hat have bought CentOS, making a downstream release of RHEL
is just a nonsense, It costs us time and money we can save. So
let's reverse the process and make RHEL a downstream of CentOS, it
will now be Fedora ELN - > CentOS Stream - > CentOS Linux -
> RHEL.<br>
<br>
There would have been no downstream build sponsored by Red Hat,
CentOS Linux would have kill other clones this way, as it already
did for Scientific Linux 8, the CentOS Community would have been
happy to help to get a better RHEL in the Stream process, and Red
Hat folks could have put all the value of their brand and
specificities in their final products, backed with a strong
ecosystem they could have controlled.</p>
<p>I eared you no answer about this proposal, could you tell me why
if it's not all about grabbing more money from the CentOS
Community ?<br>
