I pointed this out as well when the request for "feedback" for RHEL 10 was initially sent out (2023-03-09), but our (CERN's) concerns were dismissed. The decision to raise the baseline is forcing us to migrate away from RHEL for all the industrial control systems that manage the experiments and accelerators, and it may well precipitate further changes.

I however want to draw your attention to the plans, to disable or remove megaraid based hardware from Dell. Doing so will cause issues and leave behind people in the home lab community behind.
