Hi, There has been some confusion around the new CentOS Stream timeframe.
Through the past year we've been told that when CentOS Stream 9 comes out, CentOS Stream 8 will be phased out in a short period of time.
That is untrue.
The end date of CentOS Stream 8 is the end of the RHEL full support period. That is 5 years from the release of RHEL 8. That is in the FAQ:
With the new announcement we have been told that the CentOS Stream 8 (and any future version) will be available during the maintenance phase of that release. [1] This means that CentOS Stream 8 will be around for 5 years.
I've been trying to send people to the CentOS Stream FAQ [2] because it's easier to find. But the question [3] related to this hasn't been updated and says it will be a year at most.
Question 2 says:
Updates for the CentOS Stream 8 distribution continue through the full RHEL support phase. .. It links directly to the RHEL page to say 5 years.
So, thus my question. Can the CentOS Stream FAQ be updated with the new policy?
Thanks Troy Dawson
