They've actually turned off the mirrors and painted this as a "helpful" exercise in disaster recovery? Wow. Are we going to have to play this game every time Centos EOLs a release? If so, I propose we switch to another distribution that is not a guinea pig environment for a downstream distro. Either switch to actual RHEL or a centos fork? I'm not at all amused by this waste of developers' time. -- Patrick Donnelly, Ph.D. He / Him / His Red Hat Partner Engineer IBM, Inc.
