The companies that pay for RHEL licenses for production and use CentOS for test will be left with a large problem. They will either need to purchase double the number of RHEL licenses and switch to RHEL for testing or go to another distribution. RHEL + 1 will not work for testing application compatibility with patches. No company will want to pay double the amount they are currently paying for RHEL licenses. This is not even addressing the cost and time it will take to switch over all the test servers. This will cost Red Hat credibility with major companies that they might never recover from. This will cost Red Hat major business. I will be recommending that my company change to Oracle Linux 8, instead of upgrading to RHEL 8. We will get the same model we are currently using, Paid support for production and free for test servers.
