12 years is not a long time even just by enterprise software standards. The RHEL/Fedora Anaconda installer Git history goes back to 1999 (was CVS initially and then imported to Git) and that's just when tracking was first used, it existed many years before that.
Also RHEL support lifecycles are 11+ years, so for RHEL 8 released in 2019, that's a commitment to ~2030 right here and there & with doing this for many years for the past releases proving the point.
No wonder the most critical stuff (Bank, Stock exchnages, etc.) run on RHEL and not on some half baked Google stuff that will get deprecated from under them at a moments notice.
