And, it will likely be sometime mid to late 1st quarter 2021 before CentOS Stream is in its 'Fully Functional' state with community pull requests and the RHEL package maintainer doing all the work in CentOS Stream, etc . CentOS Linux 8 will still be available and updated until the end of December 2021.
I've spent the last couple hours reading through various reactions to this sudden paradigm shift, and they're overwhelmingly negative. Even the brazen professionals and the hardcore guru admins who have seen it all add a little "RIP CentOS" to their tweets, blog articles and other publications.
Only last month I held my yearly 101 class about Linux and Open Source at our local university here in South France. We were talking about enterprise class Linux - which isn't necessarily commercial Linux - and I remember explaining to my students the choice of CentOS and the benefits of low-risk updates over an extended period of ten years.
A colleague of mine - the most proficient admin I personally know - already decided to move to Oracle Linux. And I'm currently considering it as an option.
Cheers from the sunny South of France,
