Hello All,

I have one very specific question about stream and I can't really find an answer.

What happened with the timing around the announcement on the stop of CentOS Linux?

- Just after CentOS 6 is EOL so many people went to 8 - At the time of CentOS 8.3, and many people generally skip the first initial release and move on in .2 or .3. - When stream is not ready (it has been pointed out here that RHEL engineers would use it start of next year) - One year notice, which is not a lot when you expected 8 more. - ( In the middle of a pandemic. While it's not red hat fault, we already have a lot to handle. )

It seems that this decision was rushed a lot, it could probably have been delayed, to have RHEL engineers working on stream, and maybe even keep CentOS 8 running until 2024?

What happened?

Sub question: will the EL8 sources be available until 2029 for the rebuilds? Or will they also have to stop earlier?
