I will totally agree with the following comments on the above blog article: "Matt Phelps says (December 8, 2020 at 4:12 pm): This is a breach of trust from the already published timeline of CentOS 8 where the EOL was May 2029. One year's notice for such a massive change is unacceptable. Move this approach to CentOS 9." and: "fahrradflucht says (December 8, 2020 at 5:37 pm): This! People already started deploying CentOS 8 with the expectation of 10 years of updates. - Even a migration to RHEL 8 would imply completely reprovisioning the systems which is a big ask for systems deployed in the field." You people at IBM/RedHat are betraying and crucifying your own users and community, right after we have started numerous CentOS 8 systems in production, after months or even years of planning, investing in know-how and testing. This is really irritating. If you do not recall this policy, not only you will cause huge problems to thousands of administrators out there; you will suffer their wrath. Unless you recall this policy and provide CentOS 8 as promised until the end of its life-cycle, you are proving imposters by luring thousands to using a product which you planned to effectively abolish. I still hope that you will not disappoint CentOS admins and users so badly and that you will continue to support CentOS 8 (and CentOS 7) in its current/expected form. Nick
