It's simply that Oracle has such a bad reputation in dealing with Open source. Many people doubt them, and doubt that they won't change things in the future if they think they have a good chance at making money from it. I think that right now, many are either going to use Rocky or Alma. I suspect that over time, one of them, will be far more used than the other, and become the next CentOS, in the sense that while there were a few RH clones, almost everyone chose CentOS. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
