We owe everyone who worked on CentOS a big thank you.
I think a lot of people are overwhelmed by the fact that the CentOS we knew appears to be dying (was killed, in fact).
I wonder what the ultimate outcome will be. Probably RHEL will get a few new subscribers and some CentOS users will migrate to stream, but I think this will ultimately diminish Red Hat within the Linux world. Probably net advantage to Ubuntu.
These are exactly my thoughts of what will happen.
I shudder to imagine a world where Oracle Linux replaces CentOS.
This has already happened- Just take a look in Oracle's yum repository and you see the available options.
