That's exactly how I feel too. I don't trust them.
I think we can expect Rocky Linux to provide a real solution to CentOS
future. We shall know very soon, so let's just wait for a short while.
There is such a huge (staggering) number of CentOS installed base, esp.
including service providers (hosts etc.), that the market NEEDS a real
reliable successor of CentOS. This need cannot be covered by RHEL new
licensing. A real open source, community solution will be needed; for
the time being, Rocky Linux seems to have the right specs to fill the gap.
The market itself will finance (through donations) its future, because
it is a real need. A CentOS successor is a real need.
OL will be last resort, but I believe Rocky Linux will most probably be
the way to go. It displays good momentum, steady progress and great
manpower.
My 2c.
