I think this is notable because in the wake of RedHat changing CentOS model changing from stable to bleeding-edge, there has been a niche to fill in the enterprise-grade Linux space. Esp for people running on-prem infra e.g. HPC. Do we settle on Rocky? Alma? Amazon Linux2? NASA seems to be taking the lead here and saying "we're going with Rocky". I think this move will encourage others on the fence to do the same, and build more of a community around the product not owned/maintained by Amazon.

>bleeding-edge CentOS Stream is not "bleeding edge". Every update that goes into CentOS Stream has already gone through the Red Hat QA process, and the updates are restricted to only the kinds of things which previously would have gone into RHEL. That is, mostly security updates and bugfixes. It's a little bit ahead of RHEL, but it's not like Fedora, much less Rawhide.

> in the wake of RedHat changing CentOS model changing from stable to bleeding-edge CentOS is now bleeding edge? Would you describe Debian Stable as bleeding edge also? On your contiunuum, where would you place Arch and Fedora?
