CentOS項目轉換焦點到CentOS StreamThe future of the CentOS Project is CentOS Stream, and over the next year we』ll be shifting focus from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream, which tracks just ahead of a current RHEL release. CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end at the end of 2021. CentOS Stream continues after that date, serving as the upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
CentOS Linux 8，也即RHEL 8的重新構建版，將在2021年底截止。 CentOS Stream會在此日期後繼續，以RHEL做為上游開發分支為用戶提供服務。Meanwhile, we understand many of you are deeply invested in CentOS Linux 7, and we』ll continue to produce that version through the remainder of the RHEL 7 life cycle.同時，我們也理解你們在CentOS Linux 7上投入了太多，所以我們會在RHEL 7的生命周期中繼續製作新的版本。CentOS Stream will also be the centerpiece of a major shift in collaboration among the CentOS Special Interest Groups (SIGs). This ensures SIGs are developing and testing against what becomes the next version of RHEL. This also provides SIGs a clear single goal, rather than having to build and test for two releases. It gives the CentOS contributor community a great deal of influence in the future of RHEL. And it removes confusion around what 「CentOS」 means in the Linux distribution ecosystem.CentOS Stream同樣會是CentOS 特別興趣小組合作方式轉變的核心，它可以確保SIG持續跟進開發和測試下個版本RHEL的變化，同時也給定了SIG一個清晰的目標，而不是同時構建並測試兩個發行版。它給CentOS貢獻者社區帶來了非常大的影響，解除了CentOS在Linux發版生態系統中的困惑。When CentOS Linux 8 (the rebuild of RHEL8) ends, your best option will be to migrate to CentOS Stream 8, which is a small delta from CentOS Linux 8, and has regular updates like traditional CentOS Linux releases. If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you to contact Red Hat about options.當CentOS Linux 8 終止後，你的最佳選擇是遷移至CentOS Stream 8。它與CentOS Linux 8的差異非常小，而且就像傳統的CentOS Linux發行一樣會有定期的更新。如果你正在生產環境中使用CentOS Linux 8，但擔心CentOS Stream不能滿足需求，我們建議你聯繫Red Hat看有什麼選項。We have an FAQ to help with your information and planning needs, as you figure out how this shift of project focus might affect you.
我們有FAQ來幫助你得到相關信息，遷移計劃是否及如何影響你。
下面是這篇聲明的下面排第一的評論，提到了一堆的+1
This is dumb. The entire premise and the only reason anyone uses CentOS is because its rebuilt RHEL. Congratulations on undermining that, nitwits.
No. CentOS Stream will be getting fixes and features ahead of RHEL. Generally speaking we expect CentOS Stream to have fewer bugs and more runtime features as it moves forward in time but always giving direct indication of what is going into a RHEL release
另外真的想要redhat系，也不用糾結，開源屆的東西，一旦有個好產品停止維護，甚至有停止維護或者風評不好的苗頭，立馬會有其他組織跳出來接手維護，或者建立新分支，這裡面往往創始人是跳出來最早最猛的，開源屆的創始人對自己的孩子總有一種情義在裡面，即使把孩子賣了或者離開了團隊，也不允許任何人扼殺，這個類比 mysql 和 mariadb。當年只是因為 mysql 所在的 SUN 被 oracle 收購，網上擔心 mysql 維護力度不夠，存在閉源風險，甚至可能被 oracle 棒殺，即使 oracle 發文稱不會減少 mysql 的投入和更新，並將永久開源，MySQL的創始人麥克爾·維德紐斯(他之前10億美元將 mysql 賣給了 SUN)還是主導了新分支 mariadb。
