In the context of RHEL clones, I think we should use term "EL" instead of "CentOS", that is now trademark owned by RH.

Just an update, name of the project will be "Lenix", and I missedin announcement that unlike CentOS they plan to publish all the build tools and environment so other clones can be built even if they stray, a very commendable approach.
Sounds great!
It comes to mind that if Lenix and RockyLinux (and possibly other major forces) could merge and join efforts as a common project, the project could gain tremendous momentum very fast.
As was earlier mentioned, it is not easy to maintain such projects in the long term (despite goodwill), so joining forces would be quite safer for both the projects and the community, while it would also keep the community more focused, avoiding to disperse in multiple distros.
In any case, this is the kind of projects we would want to see, rather than large corporations' clones like OL.
And what I like is that there is so much energy in the CentOS community, that so important new projects are being announced in day zero after CentOS suicidal turn to Stream.
I am very confident that CentOS will live and prosper, but with a different name! (Unless IBM/RH **immediately** withdraw their announced plans and course of action.)
