You have published a CentOS Lifecycle that states the EOL for CentOS 8

May 2029. (c.f.

CentOS Stream *is not* CentOS 8.
This announcement is a breach of that trust with your community, and
could
be construed as a breach of contract with your users.
Save this change for CentOS 9.
Don't worry, it's been fixed. :/
Don't worry. I saved a copy.
So did we. It's in Git.
That page was never a contract. It's a web page published by an open source project. Please do not misconstrue it as a contract.

Maybe not a contract, but clearly CentOS set that timeline in the past and has now abandoned it, on extremely short notice, and that is a major breach of trust.
Changing a product timeline BY EIGHT YEARS is a huge, huge change, and it completely erodes any confidence your community has in you.
I respectfully request this change be postponed until CentOS 9 and announced as such from the beginning.
