From what I've read, the role of Fedora won't really change. Here's my
understanding of what the plan is:
- Fedora: unchanged. This is basically the playground for what RedHat
will one day become. Every once in a while, they pick a Fedora release,
and use it as the foundation for the next RHEL release. For example, RHEL
8 was based off of Fedora 28.
- CentOS Stream: despite sharing the name, this is something completely
new. It appears to basically be a pre-release of candidate updates that
are slated for full release into the RHEL channels. Think of it as
pre-release, but post-beta.
- RHEL: unchanged. The commercial release we all know, and some of us
love.
- CentOS: gone. The old CentOS that was designed as a binary compatible,
bug for bug match of RHEL, is no more.

My favorite comment on that post:

I am considering creating another rebuild of RHEL and may even be able
to hire some people for this effort. If you are interested in helping,

Well, we made it.. The last wlug meeting of 2020!
I hope everybody has stayed healthy and safe.
The meeting is going to be at our usual virtual hang out..
https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA @7pm.
I don't have a topic yet, I suspect something natural will emerge.
Later,
Tim.

And a big thank you for putting up with my comments! I hope you took
them in the spirit they were offered, and not me being a jerk.
I'm not a programmer, but as a long time sysadmin who's worked on
compiling various programs over the years and tweaking them to work, I
think I have a decent idea of good APIs.... at least I like to think
so! :-)
Cheers,
John

Guys,
I had a great time at the meeting last night, learned a ton of new
stuff and I still can't believe that three hours went by so quickly.
Fun!
Have a safe holiday all,
John
