CentOS never offered paid support. Rocky and Alma are trying to clone the whole package.
With that being said, I do think it falls into the category of "problems that probably wouldn't exist if CentOS was still around"
- apple4ever 3y agoYup, there is a market for cheaper support. The problem is RHEL licensing (price and hassle). If CentOS was around, RH could offer cheaper support for it. That was the solution to this problem, not kneecapping their platform.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoRocky and Alma are new, but Oracle's been doing OEL for a long time. Although I'll grant that adding more players to the mix may have exacerbated things, or at least giving RH the impression that things were getting worse, which I agree is rather a self-inflicted problem since I suspect the logic was "RH killed CentOS, so we need to replace CentOS, which takes resources, so we'll sell optional support for our clones".
