That is because CentOS Linux (other than Stream) is a rebuild of RHEL source code .. so, that is how things get into base CentOS Linux. We don't accept input that deviates base CentOS Linux from RHEL source code. So, the way to get things into CentOS Linux is to get it into RHEL Source Code. The CentOS team does not control that process. Now that CentOS Stream is being done .. that will be the process to get things into RHEL Source Code from a CentOS Linux perspective. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
