As far as I know, Red Hat has never endorsed running CentOS in production, so I don't understand why it's significant that they also don't endorse running CentOS Stream in production. > And even if I reduce the number of CentOS Stream upgrades to > minimal one, the base advantage of CentOS is lost: predictability. It's really difficult for me to look at a distribution that just stops getting updates for 4-6 weeks, twice a year, and use the word "predictable" to describe it. My first reaction to the announcement was pretty negative, too. But when I stepped back and looked at the current situation *real* honestly, I had to admit that CentOS just doesn't offer any of the things that people are complaining about losing. And I hope that the CentOS maintainers don't interpret that as criticism, because it isn't intended to be. They've always maintained that if you need updates/patches in a timely manner, then you should be paying Red Hat for RHEL. I agreed with them then, and I still do.
