As others have said, it misses the _really_ important bit about the traditional CentOS model which is to follow the RHEL ~10 year life cycle
I totally agree with you.
But when you disagree with someone (e.g. the CentOS team), it's good at
least
to hear the person out.
Back at the university here in Montpellier, we had a funny exercise in one
of
the courses. Every one of us had to pick a subject where he or she had a
strong
position. I remember I chose nuclear energy, which I think is a bad
choice. And
in the exercise, I had to *defend* nuclear energy against its opponents.
And I published the link to the article because it's a fine text and
nicely
argumented.
Well, it's mostly emotional (the leitmotif: "how can you say CentOS Stream is bad if you didn't try it?"). And the author's bio spoils the fun, as well:
"Ben Porter is a Linux and open source advocate, currently working as an OpenShift consultant for Red Hat."
And the comments to the graphs, where RHEL, CentOS and Fedora are placed on a line, are simply ridiculous (such as "did you use to consider RHEL to be the CentOS beta?"). With all due respect to Ben Porter, it didn't convince me.
I have posted a comment that explains why and on which topic he is wrong. You post them and I will debunk them :-)
