As others have noted, something like this was expected once IBM purchased RedHat. Looking forward, I’m excited for the future of Rocky Linux.
It was handled in a very hamfisted way. Permitting entities to rebase from C7 -> C8 and then pulling the plug has caused tremendous ill will.
I fully believe this. Like I noted in another comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25358847, they have done this exact similar thing in the past with the JBoss application server community edition.
