                          <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 - >

                            <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

          <div>We've been evaluating that goas for years and I (and

            of our other products have a downstream build that we
            sponsor.  What benefit does doing something we've already
            done (RHEL), and doing it again (CentOS Rebuild), have for
            Red Hat?  Believe me, when I tell you we looked for years to
            find an answer to that, no one enjoyed this announcement. 
            But when you look at it, CentOS Linux no longer makes any

    <p>As I said below, the idea is to produce a downtream RHEL clone,
      with CentOS Stream as the continuous beta release for RHEL, and
      Centos Linux the bitwise release candidate for RHEL you can last
      adjust with the feedback of the CentOS community. It's a simple
      and valuable answer to what you've been looking for years.<br>
