I want what was promised to us in the past. On the schedule that was
already published.

No, it's *because* of you (collective "you," that is) that we have to do
way more work than we planned, or have budgeted for. It's not "up to me."
There are many other forces here that are extremely hard to change. I'm not
talking about reinstalling my laptop. Remember that the "E" stands for
"Enterprise."
Can you not see that we are pissed off because what was advertised as being
stable through 2029 has been swept out from under us? All you have to do is
postpone this *massive* change to CentOS 9, and announce that from the
beginning.
The reaction to this is universally negative.
