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. - Pat
