CentOS 8.0 Linux, built from the same sources as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8, was released on 24 September 2019 with a projected EOL of May 2029.
In December 2020, community manager Richard Bowen posted about the "shifting focus" to CentOS Stream, announcing that "CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end at the end of 2021."
Oh wow, somehow I missed that they were doing this.
Red Hat just got themselves added to my "company cannot be trusted, do not use" list, right next to Microsoft.
