I think we all have a problem understanding what this announcement means. I do believe CentOS Stream is awesome software. It has to be since it's close to what RHEL is. My problem with CentOS Stream is that it's not a distribution of my choice, and I feel forced to use CentOS Stream. While at the same time, distributions of my choice Fedora, Scientific Linux, CentOS Linux, Rocky Linux, and AlmaLinux, are consequently taken down, to a moment that I'm not sure whenever RHEL is still an open-source software.
It is still as opensource as it is Ubuntu and SUSE. There are no clones of Ubuntu LTS with 10 years lifecycle, nor of SUSE Enterprise with their 10+ lifecyle.
Most likely, I'm too paranoid, but I'm afraid that if Red Hat successfully kills RHEL downstream projects, bad things will start to happen to CentOS Stream as well.
I'm afraid that could be the case too. This move will cool down the EL community significantly. I'm concerned of the future of EPEL itself. I wish RedHat would reduce their prices significantly for wider adoption, or just give the first 5 years for free as Ubuntu does.
