It used to be worth it for 20+ years. Now something changed.

For my servers I used to use 95% centos, 5% rhel. Now I’ll use 0% rhel.

I didn’t need support for most servers but I liked having comparability for when things grew into needing it.

Have you considered the developer team license, the UBI, CentOS Stream? If none of them work for you, either there is a hole that Red Hat would like to be closed or you were already violating the support agreement.

Probably the reason is licensing is a pain, and its not true "zero-cost" in that case. CentOS then Rocky/Alma removed that issue.

RH doesn't understand this.
