It may already be too late. Even if RedHat says "my bad" and goes back
on this decision, not many will trust them in the future.
Even so, it's the least they are expected to do. Just say "OK, we are
having our company planning, but our planning and operations are deeply
affected by our community, so we cannot remain indifferent to their loud
feedback; we shall support CentOS 8 as initially announced for its
complete life-cycle and we guarantee that officially."
If they shut their ears to to the whole world, it's an even bigger mistake.
