Release for CentOS Linux 8 (1911)
We are pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 8.
CentOS 8 was released in September 2019. Don't you mean 8.1?
No, they mean CentOS 8 (1911). This was hashed to death back in early CentOS 7 days, so shouldn't need rehashing again......
No, the hashing ove back then had nothing to do with dropping the minor release number. Doing that now is just making things way too confusing.
Back then the vast majority of the community showed disapproval for even that new naming scheme, but the wishes of the community were ignored and the new naming scheme went ahead anyways. I doubt anything different will happen now.
Yeah, I know most people are going to call it 8.1,
That's because it *is* 8.1 and calling it 8 (1911) is just confusing and ridiculous.
