Potentially this means that Fedora and CentOS stream do not get timely updates implemented in RHEL.

Canonical must be throwing a party, and I bet SUSE is not hating it either

    Quoted from my other post: Well in order to access the CentOS stream repo you need to have a subscription. So really not closed source but rather “harder-to-view-the-source”.

      Well in order to access the CentOS stream repo you need to have a subscription.

      That’s false. The sources are right here, open to the world and open for contribution. What was shut down was the automation to export RHEL source RPMs to the legacy location. The source RPM exports were pretty much useless for contributors and maintainers of RHEL and CentOS. However, they were critical for RHEL rebuilds, which is why people are upset.

      That’s not closed sourced, it’s just not free (or libre). I mean it still seems like a bad move to me, a retrograde step, but it won’t hurt the business side of things I expect

        Well, thats youtube sensationalism for you. Rocky Linux has already said it shouldn’t affect them and if they’re good I doubt there will be much issue.
