I used to work for a hosting firm who had large numbers of customers making use of CentOS for their pre-production environments, running RHEL for their production.
This announcement is a kick in the teeth to those customers, as the transition to RHEL 8 for these pre-production environments will feel very much like a shakedown.
I feel this is tremendously damaging for Red Hat's reputation and the goodwill developers had towards them.
- cwyers 6y agoRed Hat has developer licenses. It might not end up being a shakedown, depending.
- dpedu 6y agoIs this change really so dramatic for pre-prod use? It sounds like centos will still be around although as the upstream of RHEL, which I interpret to mean less tested or stable. But as far as compatibility between it and RHEL, shouldn't that improve? Why isn't this good enough?
