Amazon Linux has an eol of 2023. That's not "years to come."

  Sorry, I'm going to nit-pick the nit... 2021, 2022, that's two full years, and June 2023 makes it also half of 2023. That's one and a half years more than Centos 8, and it's more than two full years from the current date. So, yeah, it is years to come... even if only a bit more than a couple of years, 2.5 years is years.

    I'll assume you're not a native English speaker as "years to come" generally means many years (5-10-50+) and not a literal singular pluralization of the word year.

      How generous of you. Since we were comparing it to something that has only one year of support to come, I thought it was fair to count any more than that as "years" Amazon has a historically good record and reputation for supporting things longer rather than axing them early. Look at what they've done with Amazon Linux 1, which was supposed to be EOL this summer: (they made a judgement call that people still needed the support, and extended security updates for at least another year.) Regardless of the dates that are on paper, I think you're the one that's being pedantic now. What's the last time that Amazon ended support for anything that was in GA? It's absolutely fair to say years to come, when making this comparison.
