If future CentOS 8.4 will contain this bug - it will be disaster.

There will be no CentOS 8.4 anymore, right?

RHEL8 is supposed to be on a 6 month release schedule for minor releases, so I'd expect RHEL8.4 April/May and RHEL8.5 around beginning of Nov. Given CentOS 8 continues until end of 2021, I'd expect CentOS 8.4 and even 8.5 depending when RHEL8.5 ships and how quickly the team can turn around that release.

Based on past experience, I am willing to bet on no CentOS 8.5. Even the last updates for EL6 were not properly distributed before completely retiring CentOS 6 despite being much easier to build and push and no one would have been hurt if mirrors kept C6 another week.

I am 99% sure that even if RH releases 8.5 in nov, CentOS 8.5 will not be ready before CentOS 8 being EOLed. Maybe, just maybe we might see a CentOS 8.5 in Dec if RHEL 8.5 sees the light in Oct. But I doubt that, too.

@GenaMakhomed:  If possible, you'd better take advantage of the new subscriptions from RH and switch to using RHEL proper. CentOS 8 is dead, it's just kept on life support for another 11 months.
