As we reported last December, CentOS is changing. Instead of being downstream of RHEL (and seeking to be a free RHEL clone), it is now moving upstream of RHEL and will be a development playground for RHEL. That radically changes its nature.
So what are your plans regarding CentOS? Please let us know in the poll and comments below!

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I am going with Ubuntu server, FreeBSD, or OpenBSD before this. CentOS is of less value to me now and via either the free for 16 licensing or their developer support, I will use it as needed to maintain professional skills, but not for much else.
I miss a choice:
[ ] I will continue using CentOS 7 a few years (supported until 2024) until the dust settles and then chose a way forward
