One question, will you then use it in production on all of your servers? Simple yes or no.

Yes, the source code for Red Hat Enterprise Linux will continue to be published on git.centos.org

Originally posted by pWe00Iri3e7Z9lHOX2Qx View PostYou don't seem to understand any of them. CentOS Stream is nothing like Debian Sid. Packages in Sid are bleeding edge, and are typically even newer than Fedora. Debian also has an enormous universe of packages.
Originally posted by pWe00Iri3e7Z9lHOX2Qx View PostCentOS has a tiny amount of packages by comparison, even with RPM Fusion etc. It's a server OS meant to run all your workloads in containers or VMs. CentOS Stream is essentially the alpha version of the next Red Hat beta. "Bleeding edge" Red Hat is still old as dirt and stable.
I hope you're right and CentOS Stream is "Debian Testing" and not "Debian Unstable", no idea why do you equate the age of the code with binaries being stable as in no ABI breakages which is what everybody is afraid of.
There are a few problems of breakages already between CentOS stream and EPEL, it is even mentioned in the CentOS blog.

So if Oracle continues to build OSS RHEL RPMs their way, then we are all +/- safe there.

Ou can also run their kernel that is usually more updated

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, please join the HPCng slack (link on the website hpcng.org).
