I hadn't accounted for that offset in my prior reply. If Squid releases most of a year from now (has the cadence relative to Reef actual vs target been decided?) then I grudgingly concede that's long enough. OS sunsetting is more problematic when the dropped release is such that one can't feasibly update it in-situ, but one can update from Rocky/CentOS 8 ->9 without reimaging and without a change of init system. > No, S is just the next letter after R (for Reef) in the Alphabet, and means > the next major release (i.e. 19.2) planned for 2024.
