The awkward bit is that nodejs:10 is still marked as the default module in CS8, even though it's unsupported. This is not the only example since the same can be said for the redis:5 and maybe more.
Other examples: php 7.2 - May 2021 postgresql 10 - May 2024
EOL dates were taken from https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/ rhel-app-streams-life-cycle . Both of these modules have full life streams which are not the default.
Yes, that is indeed awkward, but it is also by design. This is one of the things we learned and adjusted in RHEL 9/CentOS Stream 9.
Indeed, this was a pretty poor design decision. In addition to users getting unsupported software by default, it causes problems for EPEL. Due to one of the many deficiencies of modularity, we're only able to build against default modules, even if they're unsupported.
