Johnny, let me say first of all thanks for these years of hard work. I
for one am grateful for your continued and dogged pursuit of what must
be a mostly thankless task. Thanks for the explanations from your point
of view of this transition, too.
Having said that, I believe that in terms of RHEL development and
transparency that CentOS Stream will be a very big win. With working
resolutions to the 'unsupported by Red Hat but not third-party
out-of-tree driver kABI breaks frequently' and 'third-party out-of-tree
hardware driver kABI breaks frequently' issues I'm sure it can be a very
usable system for what I need CentOS for. And it will be very nice to
be able to have actual feedback that might actually make a difference in
the development of each next point release. That will work nicely for
my main daily driver laptop. Maybe or maybe not for my servers; that
has yet to be seen.
But as I posted in my reply to Mike McGrath, Red Hat's reneging on the
September 24, 2019 statement that "nothing changes" for CentOS,
especially CentOS 8, still smarts. A lot. (I know it must be worse for
you and the other devs.)
