[kwlug-disc] CentOS to become CentOS Stream

[Ron Singh]

I wonder if they are essentially pushing CentOS users with production
machines to get all kinds of licenced up with RedHat?

As per their words --
"If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are
concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs,
we encourage you to contact Red Hat about options."

This comes across as, "hey you freeloaders, get over here and pay up!".
Yeah? No?

Thanks,

Ron S.
