Rocky Linux: A CentOS replacement by the CentOS founder

The next CentOS will be where the core developers who are actually contributing to project will move. However, branding does matter if you want enterprise following. Rocky does sound unprofessional.

Good. That means it's less likely to sell out to some suit farm and get cancelled like CentOS did.

Core developers and infrastructure is moving to CentOS Stream. However the software that is running on said infrastructure is all open source.

That is concerning. How is Oracle Linux compared to Rocky Linux. Why not people use Oracle Linux which is a decent company backed product.

Product might be decent but Oracle is far from being decent.
