More recently, we have determined that there isn’t value in having a downstream rebuilder.

Alright, well, there it is in plain English. They’re killing downstream clones like Rocky, Alma, etc.

I have to wonder how this is going to affect software which officially only supports (insert RHEL clone here). I use DaVinci Resolve for work every day, historically they’ve only supported CentOS, and just recently they started supporting Rocky as well. VFX isn’t my wheelhouse, but I know the situation is basically the same for those programs as well.

No. Even if they decided to do something to placate us today, they’ve shown their hand and demonstrated they don’t give a shit about their userbase. I have no plans of going back. Period.
