I will probably be more like to go for Springdale Linux since they've
been around since before CentOS, I find it hard to put trust in a
project that's just getting started unless of course CERN changes their
decision about discontinuing Scientific Linux since they were migrating
to CentOS.

Greetings,
Greg Kurtzer (the guy who started Caos which became CentOS, and he is
also the guy who started Warewulf and Singularity), has announced Rocky
Linux.

If my recollection of the history is correct, CentOS and Princeton EL
were separate from SL. CentOS originally was a "volunteer" effort
building from RHEL source, with RH personnel monitoring the CentOS
"lists" because CentOS had a wider range of an installed base on
enthusiast and home user

(wrong metaphor? you wanted "with pants down" or "off guard" or something like
that?
there is no evidence that CERN was "in" on this change, yes?)

If your employer is a for-profit entity, then the neo-liberal profiteer
model indicates your firm should be funding ("paying for") what it uses,
except for the neo-liberal reality of "welfare for the wealthy". As
your employer is using SL, supported from public funds in different
nations
In the early days of Windows 3.0 and OS/2. Windows 3.0 was short lived
because every user knew it was a dog.
OS/2 was pretty nice but had a fatel flaw as it only had one exit que.
i a program dies and not gracefully it was rebo0t time.
This is trivia trash but reflects on the Corporate Character

I guess that CERN was caught red-handed as well. They have already
started to port their internal systems to CentOS8 according to the
recent site report at HEPiX:
Hello All,
Last year it was announced that ScientificLinux would be discontinued
because of CERN switching to CentOS and that they would contribute to
the CentOS project instead
of continuing with ScientificLinux. Yesterday it was announced that
CentOS8 will be supported until the end of 2021
