> We cannot speak to Red Hat’s intentions, and can only point to the things they have said publicly. We have had an incredible working relationship with Red Hat through the life of AlmaLinux OS and we hope to see that continue.
Reading between the lines, it sounds like they have a similar relationship to Red Hat that I do: tons of great folks who still work there and weren't burned by the IBM acquisition... but officially it doesn't seem like community downstreams that filled in the role CentOS used to play have a good relationship with Red Hat.
Otherwise this change (which some people are saying is fine, just poorly communicated) would've been announced with time for the community to adapt to it, rather than being announced in a blog post a week or two after the technical/process change was made!
