Based on past experience, I am willing to bet on no CentOS 8.5. Even the 
last updates for EL6 were not properly distributed before completely 
retiring CentOS 6 despite being much easier to build and push and no one 
would have been hurt if mirrors kept C6 another week.

I am 99% sure that even if RH releases 8.5 in nov, CentOS 8.5 will not 
be ready before CentOS 8 being EOLed. /M//aybe/, just /maybe/ we might 
see a CentOS 8.5 in Dec if RHEL 8.5 sees the light in Oct. But I doubt 
that, too.


@GenaMakhomed:  If possible, you'd better take advantage of the new 
subscriptions from RH and switch to using RHEL proper. CentOS 8 is dead, 
it's just kept on life support for another 11 months.
