What for? I have my "16 free RHEL subscriptions" to run my 1 el8 machine
for developing and supporting the MIDAS data acquisition package.

As for everything else, at this very moment, I am:

a) converting all our RaspberyPi and FPGA SoC machines (about 10 of them) from CentOS-7.3 to Raspbian (ARM Debian)
b) converting our VME processors to Ubuntu and 32-bit Debian (and updating the VME kernel drivers to linux-5.8)
c) telling everybody to install Ubuntu or wait for CERN ("We will keep you informed about
any developments in this area during Q1 2021." with Q1 ending in 25 days or so).

If RHEL8 (or clone) for 32-bit ARM and 32-bit x86 did exist... but... I think...

The ship has sailed.
