Singularity containers for CentOS 8 (and latest Ubuntu etc.) work fine on
SL7, for now. Of course this is not a long-term solution, since "kernel too
old" will surely crop up eventually.

This is an awful decision by CERN/Fermilab. Red Hat has a financial
incentive to keep CentOS Stream unsuitable for production use. And even if
they are not passively (or actively) crippling it, what third-party
software is going to offer support for "CentOS Stream"? The whole thing is
almost laughable.

The right decision is to restart Scientific Linux. Obviously that is not
going to happen, which leaves organizations like mine in a bind. I am not
sure what we will do, but CentOS Stream is definitely not it.
