Article note: And there it is. Greg (Greg Kurtzer, of CAOS, Warewulf, Perceus, Singularity fame. Greg is very good people.) has already registered rockylinux.org and pointed it at a comment he posted to on the "CentOS is being turned into RHEL's beta channel" announcement that he'd spin up a new community RHEL compatible.

Article note: Huh. Not sure how I feel about this for the use-cases I have for CentOS. Mostly CentOS is great for long-term stability and dealing with crusty software that only supports RHEL and its quirks without paying a subscription for software we'll have to support ourselves anyway, but having something a little more modern and less prone to weird legacy behavior should also be nice, as long as rough compatibility is maintained. It's also basically converging to the Debian model with Corporate support (Fedora = Unstable, CentOS = Testing, RHEL = Stable).
