Any news or updates on the status of CERN Linux?

Per https://linux.web.cern.ch/centos8/ CERN users are strongly encouraged
to use CentOS-8 while the same page states that support for CentOS-8 will
end at the end of this year. Update is promised "during Q1 2021", today
we are 1/3 into Q2 2021, and there is no new information.

The CentOS forums are graveyard quiet. (censored?)

Any information from the FermiLab side of things? Any information from the SL side
of things? Any rumours?

I opened a support ticket with CERN about this, let's see what they say.
