I agree the timing of this isn't great but keep in mind the vast majority of CentOS users are on CentOS Linux 7, they have the full lifecycle they expected.
During the last year I updated several of my personal C6 Server to C8 according to this promise: https://web.archive.org/web/20201020102328/https://wiki.centos.org/About/Pro...
The relatively fewer that are on CentOS Linux 8 have some decisions to make. The end of 2021 is sooner than they were expecting *but* there is a fully available upgrade path from CentOS Linux 8 to CentOS Stream 8 (IE: not a reinstall), and that will take them to 2024. That's half of the 10 years they might have expected, but it should let them give Stream a try and see if it is for them or not.
I would recommend a distupgradable distribution not using rpm.
