The reason for this is based on the totally new repository structure Red Hat used for v8. It's different enough that an exact counterpart to the RHEL 7>8 upgrade script hasn't been compiled, tested, and supported. Your only choice is to back up everything and install CentOS 8 from scratch. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
