I want to tell you that you are incorrect even I upvoted your comment :). There are industries which cannot use rolling distros for whatever reason. I switched jobs at the beginning of this year from a cloud-application development where everything could work on rolling releases and more or less lived on the bleeding edge to developing and provisioning a cloud platform (not everything can work on a public cloud: energy companies, essential telecommunication, many healthcare providers don't want to do that etc). Two worlds so close together physically but totally different philosophies.
We don't use CentOS or Rocky. Our customers pay for RedHat or SLES. But I can see that someone wants RHEL and don't want to pay for the license and don't want to switch to Ubuntu/Debian or OpenSUSE either. I don't understand that, they are not that expensive for what they are but ... I am a software developer by profession, not an accountant. (I even saw industries paying for Windows Servers or HP UX, the prices were pretty eye-watering; the Linux-based options are either cheaper or at the same level as MS Win which for multi-million Euro company is not THAT much and even can pay off when you need to call support.)
