Thank you for the update. Although I could not find a listing for you
at Fermilab through a web search engine (my fault), I did find
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.linkedin.com_in_patriehecky&d=DwIDaQ&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=GmODBvzVccq62b85_5FqC1HOEq9xjkakc0x_NkH_UPM&s=PBlj4xQGhYUMveDLgNXtrHFOLrflQ6c3bCukF64rzRQ&e= which indicates that you are
(paid) professional Fermilab staff assigned to SL, and presumably will
be part of the Fermilab CentOS 8 team if all of the HEP CERN
collaborations stay with CERN CentOS 8. The only reason I checked was
to understand your official capacity to provide release information. As
you can read below, my university does not allow unmodified
(uncensored?) URLs to be transmitted -- the URL you posted has been
modified in the email that I can see (one of the reasons I use my gmail
account whenever allowed). The TUV life cycle is for RHEL 7 that is
under paid subscription except in so far as RH is required by the GPL,
etc., to release full source (no binaries).
Will the SL group be adding these RHEL 7 updates, etc., to the SL distro
repos? Will these be 7.9 ... or are future minor release number
versions of RHEL 7 (that are reflected in SL 7) determined by IBM RH
(TUV)? Will these only be from CentOS with the SL repos simply
mirroring those at CentOS (part of RH and thus part of IBM), or will SL
be doing independent builds? Any idea about EPEL, ElRepo, etc., updates
as well?
Thank you for any clarification.
Stay safe. Take care.

is SL 7.8 the end of SL 7?
The projected end of life for SL7 is June 2024.
This is following TUV's lifecycle:
