Tom nailed it for me, similar boat. We moved to Rocky as a holding position with their LTS, but it just doesn't make sense any more to use a Redhat base with any new server.
The trust I think has gone since the Centos rug pull, and that's important. I do think we'll see some changes to come (I can't work out if Suse forking RH is interesting or not), but I think most people want stability with security.
I would like to say a genuine thanks to all those who have helped previously.

I think I finally need to remove myself from the centos mail list but coming from @redhat worker trying to explain what their company has done, is pretty disingenuous to say the least. It's pretty clear what they are trying to do and it's all driven by greed, have seen it over and over in the opensource world, and lets be clear thats what it always comes down to is greed. Bottom line its a d*ck move by Redhat, but technically still meets the letter of the GPL so it is what it is. IMHO they basically became another Oracle and we know how most feel about them, but hey someone has this great idea to make more money they have the right based on the GPL to do it..I moved a few servers to Rocky when they killed Centos but this is it for me, I will migrate my remaining servers over to anything but Redhat, they are dead to me. I had been using Centos for many years, when Karanbir Singh was running things and they would go to meet ups and you could get t-shirts etc..Was a great run but Redhat has ruined all that and now I just could care less what Redhat does from here on out. I'm nobody, but where I do work we have options for which linux distro that we want to run, I can assure you I will not be spinning up an Redhat instances...fool me once, fool me twice...
