> Rocky and Alma are doing exactly what CentOS pre-Stream did for _six_ years. Now they're frustrated that their decision to kill the CentOS idea didn't stick?

CentOS wasn't selling support contracts tho.

Not that I think anything they are doing is in any way wrong mind you.

The RESF / Rocky Linux project does not sell support contracts. That is a contract for CIQ. Any company is free to sell support services for Rocky Linux (and many do, including OpenLogic, MontaVista, CIQ, TuxCare, etc).
