And the decision to withdraw CentOS 8 was taken quite suddenly, part way through the advertised 10 year lifetime of EL8. And the free RHEL development licence offer wasn't ready to go the day of the announcement - there was a delay of some months.

I'm thinking a sudden change of view because of internal politics rather than an organic change as part of some master plan.

The decisions seem rushed, not borne out of consensus, and not well thought out
