There used to be several RHEL clones too, but many (some??) have dropped by the wayside. I started with TaoLinux, a rebuild of EL6, by basically one guy at a university, because he wanted his own RHEL clone to run at work. when he changed jobs he worked with Johnny to come up with a transition for Taolinux users to turn their systems into CentOS systems. As I understand it, also, Scientific Linux has quit and urges its users to go to Centos (or did, before the big hullabaloo in the CentOS world). there was also Whitebox LInux, but I don't know what ever became of it.
So, hopefully those doing rebuilds of 8 will also eventually coalesce into a smaller number, hopefully 1.

Anyone looked into almalinux? I was sort of waiting for rocky, but I see from over the weekend on slashdot that almalinux stable is released.
markI hoped they would join forces and produce only one RHEL clone but put some effort into bringing EPEL to a usable state for EL8 instead. IMHO that would help *MUCH* more than to have two almost identical rebuilds of RHEL.
