https://planet.centos.org was deployed a long time ago to aggregate feeds from various centos contributors and it was migrated from centos release to centos newer release, as planet (python2 based app) was easy to just rebuild.
Now that CentOS Linux 7 will go EOL next year, and that https://blog.centos.org/ (linked to SSO) seems to be the only source for blog posts, I'd like to consider just decommissioning that planet instance, and the "Around CentOS" section of www.centos.org homepage would fetch rss feed from blog.centos.org, instead of planet.centos.org (just acting as a MITM these days)
Opinions, thoughts ?

I don't see this providing a large value at the moment. It has been a good run, but I think people writing blogs etc themselves are much smaller and fewer than needed to keep it going.

Yep .. so I'll just ensure that the only rss feed that will be used for content on website will be coming from https://blog.centos.org , and so then be able to shutdown planet.centos.org
