StarlingX Community:
As has been announced Long Term Support for CentOS-8 will be going away
in December of 2021 (1 year away). CentOS-Stream will be the
"replacement", but has some challenges due to the update policy and
possible patching of CVEs in packages.
Listed below are additional options, please provide feedback so we can
start discussing options here and during the next set of calls.
I would like to hear if there are ideas I am missing or other proposals.
Thanks
Sau!
