I re-visit this thread, since it is crucial for CentOS 8 users.
RESF / Rocky Linux is gaining worldwide recognition and sets itself as the primary organization / platform to become the CentOS 8 heir / successor in the future.
Google and Microsoft become RESF sponsors/partners:

And so IBM/RH lose the tremendous advantage they had by owning the CentOS project, which - it seems - never evaluated correctly.
From now on, it is clear that hundreds of thousands of CentOS installations will be migrating to Rocky Linux.
I also wish the best of success to CentOS Stream, but this is not what the CentOS community expected.
Yeah, I share this view.
As a side note, I evaluated Oracle Linux because it has working secure boot, but I am somewhat afraid of using it (due to corporate practices). This probably is an irrational feeling (after all, I do not exclusively use MariaDB, but MySQL also), but I prefer to stay on the safe side.
Anyway, I strongly feel that IBM/RH miscalculated the move. Regards.
