Furthering the evolution of CentOS Stream

As the CentOS Stream community grows and the enterprise software world tackles new dynamics, we want to sharpen our focus on CentOS Stream as the backbone of enterprise Linux innovation. We are continuing our investment in and increasing our commitment to CentOS Stream. CentOS Stream will now be the sole repository for public RHEL-related source code releases.

@nixCraft well… I’m not going to defend Red Hat in any manner, but Oracle and now SUSE seem a lot like a pair of vultures that try to feast on a corpse that’s still kicking.
