My current plan is to recommend we stay on CentOS 7 and switch to Rocky Linux for version 8, maybe in a year or so. Worst case scenario is Red Hat kills CentOS 7 (which would *not* surprise me at all now) and we need to bridge the gap with Oracle. My gut feeling is Oracle doesn't see Oracle Linux as a money maker, apart from getting some support contracts from it, so they'll leave it be for a while.
