Thank you for your response Martin. We should probably consider moving
to the alternatives that you mentioned or Ubuntu. Centos was no longer a
Community effort after RH was bought by a propriatory company.
"Proprietary company" sounds like a nonsense. All companies do work for
profit. This is true about current owner of RedHat, as well as it was
true about RedHat as a company before it was sold to current owner.
The moment CentOS team started being paid by RedHat (long before RedHat
was bought by current owner) was the moment _I_ should have told myself
about CentOS "this now will not last long". Luckily for me I already
fled my servers to FreeBSD, - from Linux in general, not from CentOS in
particular. But that is long different story.
Just my $0.02

Not just rumours. CentOS 8 dies at the end of this year. CentOS 7
has until the end of 2024. RH are introducing "CentOS Stream" which
is what will be in RHEL in the next release. It has been unkindly
referred to as beta software.
The traditional rebuild of RHEL will continue under other guises.
There has been a long standing release at Springdale. Since RH's
announcement Cloud have produced the Alma release. There is also a
new project called Rocky that hasn't yet released a full version but
is working on it.

Will there be newer versions of Centos? We have heard rumors that
version 8 will be the last one. We are concerned with using an OS
that will loose support in the future. Thank you.
