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>
