Oh, that's right, it's 2020, the dumpster fire of a year.

A non-paying CentOS user is not a real loss for RHEL. But people dumping

I am seeing this in practice already with juniors - they all use
Ubuntu on their personal systems and they hate having to deal with
RHEL. And their opinions matter in the long run.
And exactly the same applies to senior (or retired) admins on their home
computers. My main home machine runs about a dozen testbed VMs,
DHCP/DNS for the home network, Amanda, NFS and Samba for other machines,
ownCloud, Apache, Zotero and DokuWiki for the family. I want a stable
server under that lot, not a beta release.
Retired sr. Linux admin here also, also running CentOS at home. Moved to
7 this past summer (really dislike sstemd, hung onto 6 as long as possible).
What I find outright offensive is that I see someone posted the specs
for the Board... and #2 was "community outreach".
Can someone point me to a post, ONE SINGLE POST, before this
announcement, saying that this was being considered? That this might
possibly happen?
Show me that this was not just presented to the community as a fait
accompli, non-negotiable.
