Stream is driving users and companies away from CentOS. Many are
<br>
reviewing their previous usage and support. Many are questioning the
<br>
wisdom of a migration to RHEL and reviewing other options, such as non
<br>
RHEL based operating systems or a different supported operating
<br>
system. Amazon Linux 2, for example, has picked up a lot of clients by
<br>
porting more contemporary versions of system components like Python
<br>
3.7 to their RHEL 7 based operating system.
<br>
<br>
The backfire already happened. Having a solid end-date for the point
<br>
releases puts a timetable on migration decisions, which is useful.
