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 and that there won't be 
a CentOS9 meaning CentOS will
become a rolling release a beta for RHEL and won't be binary compatible 
anymore. My question what is CERN going to do now that CentOS is not a 
realistic option anymore because of this? Is there any chance that the 
discontinued status of ScientificLinux will be reverted and that 
ScientificLinux will be an option as binary compatible clone of RHEL
since CentOS Stream is out of the question since it won't be binary 
compatible anymore with RHEL.
