If some people want to leave the RHEL ecosystem for Debian or FreeBSD, that's OK. But for those who want to stay in the RHEL world, Rocky Linux stands as a rock-solid solution. This opinion does not reject other CentOS clones, but emphasizes the fact that Rocky Linux appears to be a solid option for now and the years to come.
While true, I also feel that RH is trying to actively shape its distribution away from small enterprise needs. For example, common packages are deprecated and/or removed (eg: virt-manager, screen, kernel-side DRBD, pam_mysql, etc) and EPEL 8 (which is fundamental to my CentOS/Rocky installations) is in a bad state.
My impression is that RH is following cloud vendors & hyperscale needs - with Stream as a clear example. This is not an inherently bad thing, but it quite different from what the small and medium businesses I service need.
So, while closely watching RH/CentOS/Rocky, I am going to steer new deployments on Ubuntu LTS or Debian.
