Next year, IBM's Red Hat plans to cut back on hiring senior engineers in an effort aimed largely at controlling costs.
Oracle has a conversion script/tool to switch a CentOS machine to Oracle Linux. In the FAQ they're at least self-aware of their reputation:

Linux server flavors?

Rocky Linux release attracts 80,000 downloads as ex-CentOS users mull choices
But reading the docs and the claims that the site has https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos/ it's a real option for mission-critical/production systems.

If Redhat used by the datacenter. Why do we learn another distro?
Actually Oracle Linux already fills that gap as a RHEL clone. Don't kill me, I know Oracle Linux is literally the only free product at that company. It even says so on their website:

- OpenELA releases redhat source code for everyone
- Curl/libcurl HIGH CVE-2023-38545 leaked early?
- Fixes CVE-2023-38403 – Resolves: rhbz#2223729
- Can any Red Hat Employee comment on this? Why it's not accepted as CVE bug fix that sent by community?

Tell HN: Red Hat refuse AlmaLinux CVE patch to CentOS Stream: no customer demand
In an unexpected and surprising move, contrary to what Red Hat has been saying lately to the community about CentOS Stream collaboration and rebuilders, Red Hat will refuse patches to CVE issues, developed by downstream contributors, in CentOS Stream citing "no customer demand".
Link to CentOS Stream Gitlab of the AlmaLinux CVE patch commit: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/iperf3/-/merge_requests/5

SUSE Preserves Choice in Enterprise Linux by Forking RHEL
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-st...
Fedora and many other distros do a lot of valued work, too.
FWICS there are FIPS kernel variants for Ubuntu <= 20.04 LTS (2020) but not 22.04 LTS (2022), and Debian and Ubuntu don't have the selinux policy set that Fedora and RHEL+EPEL have. https://ubuntu.com/kernel
From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36480033 :
> Would it be feasible to sed-replace the RHEL and/or Fedora selinux and container-selinux rulesets for use with other Linux distros?
> "AFAIU only SUSE can run both AppArmor and SELinux?*
> And browsers are running as unconfined in selinux with like all major distros; even on ChromiumOS
Act like you added `systemd-nspawn respawn` to every SysV-init script and correctly formatted the epoch time in the correct column of each of the log files to merge and then logship again.

Stuff to think about for RHers.
There is nothing stopping any of the rebuilders from using gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream to continue rebuilding.

My thoughts on the recent Red Hat source code availability changes.
