Plans on CentOS8 for UMD
- CentOS8 released in Semptember 2019 https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2019-September/023449.html
- same life cycle as RHEL https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Life_Cycle_Dates
- CentOS8 will be maintained until May 2029 (Product Retirement)
- CentOS7 will be maintained until June 2024 (Product Retirement)
- same life cycle as RHEL https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Life_Cycle_Dates
- Should CentOS8 be added to UMD4 or created within a new major UMD5 (with CentOS8 only)?
- Should CentOS Stream be taken into consideration as an alternative to CentOS8?
- It seems there is no real reason to do that for the time being...
