Does he say that CentOS is a production operating system?
As far as I know, Red Hat has never endorsed running CentOS in production, so I don't understand why it's significant that they also don't endorse running CentOS Stream in production.
Yeah, I too think this is important context. I don't think you'll ever find anyone from the business side ever even suggesting that they think CentOS Linux, the rebuild, was *ever* something Red Hat recommended to run in production.
In early 2000 I don't think you'll ever find anyone from the business side ever even suggesting that they think Linux (in general) was *ever* something vendors recommended to run in production... but here we are now ;-) And bye bye to AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris, Digital Unix, Tru64 Unix (only to mention the OSes I had been involved in at different levels); and I would like to notice that each one of those had its strong points anyway and let me learn much.
Business men joked with me when I asked about considering Linux in some context and they replied "Eh, Linus? The cartoon guy?"
So what?
Please leave business to business
