I'd love to see SL come back. I hope EPEL and ElRepo and Nux etc keep working with whatever CENTOS replacement there is, because we use them quite a bit for various things. One thing I'd like to see also, and maybe that's cloud linux, is the live kernel patching that was never on offer for SL before. For some servers, it might be worth $60 a year to get that.

I would love to see Scientific Linux being revived by CERN/Fermilab.

The problem with CentOS stream for me is that I don't see support from ELRepo and EPEL. Both repository have been extremely helpful me getting SL7 and CentOS8 running on some older hardware.
