#CentOS 7 EOL is such a huge event for the industry, that everyone is trying to get a share of it with good and bad intent and marketing.
There are so many unresolved questions, postponed decisions and just poor planning, which all are exploding in that very last moment, because 10 years ago everyone just decided not to think about "complex stuff".
I don't even want to argue on CentOS or RHEL side. Make your own choices.
I want to say - piling up problems for 10 years is bad.
@bookwar I never liked the "100% reinstall" approach on the major version upgrade preferred by many distros.
Even recently, using leapp-based 7-to-8 in place upgrade, lead me to troubleshoot some strange issues even with pretty simple installations.
But I am happy it is there to try and my customers' admins were nice enough to work with me on that, although the official corporate policy is kind of, "get a new server and move your stuff".
It’s like they follow a Policy Of Most Astonishment
Amazon Linux 2023 does one better and barely supports auto-update on boot. They want you to always use the latest AMI which changes every week or so with no predictable schedule - it’s such a shit show when distro maintainers have contempt for their users.
