How does this (https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/)
affect Fedora?
I think Fedora now needs some kind of LTS.
Why? What would it provide that CentOS Stream doesn't?
It would provide with what is lost with CentOS Linux.
Let's entertain an example:
I would like to setup a home server with some locally hosted services,
but I wouldn't like to update it to new system with new software every
year just to get security updates.
That is for me use case that would benefit from LTS. I would've used
CentOS Linux but that won't be enough because CentOS 8
is EOL roughly next year. I could use Fedora server but that has too
quick a release cycle and I don't have the time to check
that everything is running right so often. Instead I would like LTS
system that I comfortable with, which is from the RHEL ecosystem.
But I don't see sense in running paid RHEL instance that would be only
serve as my hobby project server.
So with those out of the picture I would probably have to settle for
something like Ubuntu LTS.
However that is not the solution I'd like to see.
If I understood the announcement, it would be a kind of CentOS streams
is rolling release or a release with short
release interval. That does not make my job much easier as someone who
just sets up services and leaves it running.
While I personally think that Fedora should uphold mainly its philosophy
of being the
"pioneer" of new releases, I feel that then I would miss a production
ready, free and long term supported system
from the ecosystem of RHEL/Fedora. But apparently some already took on
this task [0].

At least I was planning to support CentOS via EPEL as
a kind of "Fedora LTS".
