Which brings further thoughts. I was creating replacements for CentOS 6
based systems, obviously beginning with CentOS 8.
CentOS 7 looks less clumsy than CentOS 8, but it only receives
maintenance updates now. Still 4 years ahead look better than one year
with CentOS 8.
My only concern ATM is whether RH can change its CentOS 7 maintenance
plans as well, all of a sudden.
(if I change Linux distribution later to another RHEL clone, it most
probably would mean complete re-install anyway)
