They'll hire all Rocky contributors in under 3 years and turn it into a rolling distribution.
That's how Redhat works.
That's how Redhat works.
First, my original point is that Ubuntu is only just breaking into the territory already firmly dominated by Red hat. The presence or absence of a free edition of EL doesn't really change that.
Second, that's not really how Red Hat works either; even CentOS lasted for longer than 3 years.
Finally, even if that was how Red Hat worked, that doesn't mean it's how Rocky works. I'm skeptical that a community operated project is going to come to the exact conditions that led to it being created in the first place. And honestly, even if they somehow did, there's like three other projects all doing free respins of RHEL.
