Similar to forcing Microsoft or Google to prompt the user for their desired browser or search provider, it would be interesting if rhel was forced to prompt for a repo provider.
It would have been wiser to splash rhel support upgrades on CentOS gdm or cli cockpit than to threaten to kill a product.
Really, what were you thinking? Nazgul indeed! Fork you!
Old habits die hard.

- chasil 6y agoOracle offered freedom from the perspective of rhel, and I used it. I actually was granted IPO shares because of the things I wrote two decades ago. I think there was a fundamental misjudgment in what you have done. Oracle is more expensive on most tiers, but offers a $100 support level (forum-only, with updates) that undercuts all rhel agreements. Had you offered this support level, and advocated it (as I said) with gdm and CLI advertisements, you might have kept a great many in the fold. You did not do this, and now Oracle updated their repo conversion for CentOS 8. It is not too late. You should reconsider.
