Let's chat about forums.centos.org !
IMHO, that service can be easily moved to a newer OS/PHP stack and so continue to run. But on the other hand, I heard rumors that some forums moderators would like to stop maintaining/moderating it after 2024.
I also heard that there is now a centos category on fedora discourse (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/centos/71)
So while we (centos infra) can easily migrate that server, should we ?
I think the moderators have been pretty clear in different venues that they are done with this when CentOS 7 end of lifes. Moving the forum to read-only and scraping/archiving the public discussions at that point is probably best. At that point put a placeholder to the scraped site and a link to future discussions to the discussion.fedoraproject.org system. I think the types of discussions for CentOS Stream 9++ will mesh better with Fedora as they are both more 'update weekly to see what is coming' focused than the 'long term sit and update when I have to' production that older CentOS releases were known for.
Let's spend some time investigating the options and take a decision about it !
