1. альфа местами путается в показаниях. например, она топит, что изменения сделаны по просьбе трудящихся, т.е правления сентоси. редхатовский сто формулирует немного по другому: we’ve informed the CentOS Project Governing Board that we are shifting our investment fully from CentOS Linux to CentOS Stream.
2. все, что альфа, а также миллер на хакер ньюсах и лвн рассказывают про "редхат ускоряется", "сентос на такую скорость не рассчитан", и вообще это "huge and awesome good news" - with all due respect this is bullshit.
миллера в каментах на hn прижали коленом к стене:
Nobody has a problem with the idea of 'CentOS 8 Stream'. They have a problem with this being the replacement to CentOS 8 Linux because it doesn't fulfill the same use-cases.
и ответить ему было, в общем, нечего:
In complete seriousness, I think there are three broad categories:
* Use cases which actually despite the fears will be covered just fine by Stream * Use cases which will be covered by the upcoming expanded no-cost/low-cost RHEL programs * Use cases which, yeah, aren't covered
It's my estimation that the first two are actually the vast majority. I don't mean to be flippant (it was a long day). understand that people who are mostly in the third case are angry and disappointed, but from what I've seen in talking to people both when Stream was launched and after this announcement, at least some large number who are worried that that's their situation are going to be actually getting something better when the dust settles.
это при том, что чуть раньше он открытым текстом признает:
There may occasionally be a situation where an update introduces bugs into Stream that would have been caught by QA before a public minor RHEL release and subsequent CentOS Linux rebuild. But I don't actually expect that to happen enough to worry about in any case where you can justify not paying for actual supported RHEL in the first place.
собсно весь негатив от этого - он, будучи девелопером, считает, что беспокоиться нечего, а я, будучи эксплуатационщком, считаю наоборот. словно у них мало ошибок, которые их qa _не_ поймал перед майнор паблик релизом.
