Hi.
Springdale Linux, RHEL clone already exists. Rocky Linux clone is in
preparation, and CloudLinux plans to publish RHEL clone also.
And notice that CentOS Linux 7 will be supported until EOL in 2024 and
there will still be support for CentOS Linux 8 for next 12 months,
enough to chose your exit strategy smartly and without emotions.
