Christoph Galuschka maintains that wiki page you reference. Does he represent Red Hat? If not, how does a community member “pinky swear” and Red Hat is now on the hook?
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoIt was the official CentOS wiki; it sure looks official to me.
- op00to 6y agoIf I put that yjftsjthsd-h has a scorching case of herpes on Wikipedia, does that make it official?
- strenholme 6y agoIf something has been on the official CentOS Wiki for nearly a year (compare the date stamps of https://archive.is/EPtoS https://archive.is/EPtoS, https://archive.is/7Qmtw https://archive.is/7Qmtw, and https://archive.is/9wDW0 https://archive.is/9wDW0) then this is something RedHat communicated to end users. RedHat had a year to remove the statement that CentOS was supported until 2029, and could had protected the page so only admins could edit it if vandalism was, in fact, an issue.
- strenholme 6y agoRedHat is on the hook because they did not make it clear to the CentOS community that support would be cut short back when CentOS was released in 2019. This is something RedHat should had decided on and communicated before CentOS 8 was made public.
