Honestly, it's the only thing that makes the situation the tiniest bit 
palatable.  Kudos to the Board, and a big thanks to Red Hat for agreeing 
to do that.  While 5 years is not as good as 10, it's better than 2 or 3.


As I've been composing my email to the centos-questions at redhat.com 
address, I went back through my local archive of a to-be-nameless 
mailing list with NDA-covered information, and ran across the 
pre-release notice of the post-Shrike (well, there's a city name in 
there, too, but I speak not of such locales) change in Red Hat Linux 
moving away from a boxed set product and more into a semi-stable dynamic 
development distribution with comprehensive community involvement, 
taking the old Fedora.us repo name as its own.  Given the long time 
since that announcement, it is a really interesting read.  Obviously I'm 
not going to post snippets, but the public announcement isn't hard to 
find.  Much gnashing of teeth ensued then, too, but look at what Fedora 
has become!  I hope CentOS Stream finds its way as well as Fedora did.
