Isn't that about when Scientific Linux admins deferred to CentOS and
encouraged people to migrate to CentOS? That seemed a very positive
move at the time. Sadly, the decision by RHEL and CentOS to stop
publishing point releases of CentOS 8 and support only "CentOS 8
Stream" has lead to a number of discussions and colorful metaphors
about exactly what stream we're supposed to be dipping from, and has
lead to many developers and places refusing to use CentOS 8 or, in
turn RHEL 8.
