<div dir="ltr">We've been evaluating that goas for years and I
(and others) are unconvinced why we should be doing that.
None 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 sense to
sponsor.

<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>

<p>No answer again, as the end goal of this initiative is to kill
CentOS Linux, maybe not to get Community money back, but surely
because it reduces some RHEL sales. However this is not a
Community responsibility, it is all Red Hat's fault when it bought
CentOS and gave more credibility to this project without
highlighting the value of RHEL over CentOS Linux. I proposed a
solution for that dilemna which end all the downstream process and
restored some trust we could put in Red Hat, and this advice is
free of charge.<br>

free actual RHEL?</div>

<p>And what should be the terms of this free actual RHEL we could be
helpfull for ?<br>

now the winner of your fantastical move is Oracle Linux,
