I was not contemplating leaving Linux so your notes about other Linux
options is very relevant.
It sounds like you are not concerned that CentOS Stream will be part of
the QA process for RHEL and have occasional hiccups when updates are
issued to the LTS version.

Hi Ron,
I wouldn't worry about it as much. Although the PR was "managed"
horribly by RedHat, in technical terms I don't think the situation is
as dire as it seems.
First of all, CentOS Stream is supported for 5 years, this is as good
as Ubuntu LTS and knowing RedHat the QA will be much better than
Canonical's. In fact, CERN deemed it good enough for their use, so if
Stream is good enough to literally split the atom, then I don't know
what other endorsement it needs.[1]
Second, there are already many RHEL clones out there, Oracle
Unbreakable Linux, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, plenty to choose from.
And if the situation is still too shaky for your boss, then you could
always go Ubuntu LTS and last, but not least Debian which is super
stable and also with 5 years life time.

As a long-time Centos user, I fear that my company will have to
abandon Centos since Centos is going from a stable, tested system to a
test bed.
This is not really a good move for anyone wanting a reliable
production system.
It is hard to imaging why anyone would want Centos Steam for
production use.

Opening this thread for discussion on the actions needed: should we
drop support on the next 4.16.1 release and onwards?
