IBM's official route results in a distro that is not bug-for-bug compatible with RHEL, at least not without a lot of unnecessary work. The route Rocky is taking results in a distro that is bug-for-bug compatible.
- heywoodlh 3y ago> The route Rocky is taking results in a distro that is bug-for-bug compatible. Point taken. From my perspective, it seems like a short-sighted approach to rely on loopholes to obtain bug-for-bug compatibility. I know I wouldn't be comfortable running anything production-grade on Rocky Linux with their current approach.
