Speaking for myself only, I have no problem with anyone posting Oracle Linux questions, answers or solutions in this mailing list. I think that as time goes on, OL and Rocky Linux will start to get more discussion and coverage here. Since they are all very similar to each other, most of the solutions for one will likely be applicable to all anyway and if there's a better alternative offered on one of the others, then that's worth knowing as well.
This is a CentOS list. The other distros you mention have their own venues for support and discussion and those should be used.
I agree with your sentiment, John, but the fact that folks fled is due to CentOS (owned by RedHat, of course) doing. And they use most logical way for their discussion: the CentOS refugees ask their kin in quite logical place: CentOS list, where they all were prospering in the past.
Incidentally, I for one do not blame CentOS in the fact that I have to move my workstations/numbercrunchers to different Linux (Debian). I could have analyzed the fact when it was announced that CentOS project is owned by RedHat, and should have expect potential turn. Not a big deal, servers are FreeBSD for long time already for different reason. But I can understand the folks for whom it turned out a big deal. Like the ones recommending their customers CentOS…
