Exactly right on the lack of notice. What happens to people relying on Alma/Rocky? They're possibly screwed. Of course, RHEL (or others) could say that if you're depending on a free product, you're to blame. That's where I would disagree a bit. Many of these really large customers could just have easily chosen Debian, or something else. They simply don't need and don't want to pay for support. With Alma/Rocky, they had a perfect option, a no-support, free EL distro. RHEL did not lose these customers to Alma/Rocky. Those customers would have just chosen a different free distro. This is downhill for RHEL
