Navy Linux has a bad taste already, for me. They are aiming too big, even trying to replicate EPEL for themselves. And their attitude isn't good. They had a tweet disparaging "new unstable vendors" of EL distros that they only deleted after being called out for it, despite being one of those themselves.

They used to say they were founded by "Unixlab". Which Unixlab? We don't know. Now they say they are a non-profit Foundation that founded the project. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:kZLBFcdLyrYJ:https://navylinux.org/about/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us <https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:kZLBFcdLyrYJ:https://navylinux.org/about/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us>

The Division of Corporations in DELAWARE shows:
Formation Date: 6/14/2021 (mm/dd/yyyy)

Anyway, in the context of ongoing attacks to the supply chain.
This situation where CentOS is running EOL will motivate new
black hats to step into the place. Imagine a massive deployed
OS that is trojanized?!

So trust is here king and despite all adversity (that also hits me
hard) we should thinks twice before running away into foreign arms.
