This is an announcement about the EOL of CentOS Linux 7, which has seen its complete 10-year expected lifecycle. Grievances about the short lifespan of CentOS Linux 8 are off-topic, and your hostile language towards Fabian (one of "the rest of the CentOS team" you thank) is completely inappropriate. You can express your disapproval of technical decisions without attacking people personally.Hi Shaun:
I read Tracy's note several times - and I see no personal attack against Fabian. Am I missing something?
From what I see, Tracey shared a sentiment that is widely held, which is contextually in response to the messaging that CentOS 7 is now EOL. This is not an attack on Fabian. Fabian is only the messenger, and the response is to the message.
CentOS 7 is the last CentOS released that fulfilled its commitment. CentOS 8 did not fulfill its commitment.
Perhaps the exact choice of language may not be welcome, but it is important to measure your response against the words actually expressed.
