Hello Bruce. Since this version is exactly the same piece what I am working on for RHEL, what would be advantage of using Oracle Linux for it?
The same version would land to CentOS Stream and into Red Hat Enterprise Linux later. We try hard to make no regressions on any update. ISC's maintained tests help us a lot, but we have also bunch of our own tests. I would like to thank ISC for their great test coverage support, it is outstanding in my opinion. All tests apply to any version released even to CentOS Stream, just like for RHEL. The only difference for RHEL would be, such changes would be parked in our repository for several months until minor update release. Anyway, Oracle seems to be only recompilation of package I prepare for RHEL and then falls to CentOS. Is there any advantage receiving it from them, where no feedback to actual maintainers can be provided? Would it make it more stable in any way? I admit I don't understand motivation for it. It seems more misunderstanding what CentOS 8 Stream is supposed to be. Can I clarify it somehow?
