WRT CentOS 8 .. it has taken a back seat to 7.7.1908. Millions of users already use CentOS Linux 7. Those people needs updates. ... Then we will get back to CentOS 8 .. since because no one has it yet .. it is not a priority.
IMHO, a good choice. 7.7 is much more important, IMO, and when resources are scarce you much prioritize them.
So far, the CR updates are working out for me, although I've noticed heavy I/O causing more of a slowdown than with 7.6, both on the internal SATA/mSATA drives and external USB2/USB3 drives. But I haven't had time to dig deeply enough to triage what might be causing it. Copied some EME signal captures today (6GB or so) and the GUI became totally nonresponsive (mouse cursor moved fine, just nothing responded to any mouse events) while the copy was underway, on one of the internal drives. If anything, this CR update has been the smoothest so far for 7.x.
Thanks much for your hard work.
