Rolling is not ideal when you have to compile software against the
installed libraries or kernels. If you have or are running Arch Linux you
will know what I'm talking about. There are regular niggles with things,
especially with compiling your own software that needs recompiles pretty
regularly.
A quick reminder that there are specific Redhat SKUs for cluster head nodes
and a cheaper one for cluster nodes.
Tha announcement regarding Centos Stream said that there would be a new
offer.

often not enough that it can be made to work when large contracts are
involved and
Seeing that it will be a rolling distribution I don’t see that as a bad thing
in all honesty. Is there something that one needs to be weary about with a
rolling distro?

Jorg, a big seismic processing company I worked with did indeed use Debian.
The answer though is that industrial customers use commercial software
packages which are licensed and they want support from the software vendors.
If you check the OSes which are supported then you find Redhat and SuSE.
