A related question: Since Stream 8 will EoL in MAY 2024, when RHEL 8 will enter the 5-year-Maintenance Support phase,
in which way will the sources of the updates released for RHEL 8 (modifications / patches of Open Source codes) be released?
Will these still go to git.centos.org, or on a new, to-be-created platform?
