Sure .. but just like you are using EL8 right now .. EL9 will be
released before the 8-Stream EOL. Again .. Have no issues using
whatever, but there will be plenty of time to get Stream 9 up and going
for most loads before Stream 8 EOL.
Yes, some items, if you really need 10 years, would require Alma or
Rocky or Oracle if you don't want to pay for RHEL.
