As others have noted, something like this was expected once IBM purchased RedHat. Looking forward, I’m excited for the future of Rocky Linux.

Rumor is RH was planning this from before merger. Supposedly they wanted to do it before C8 release.

It was handled in a very hamfisted way. Permitting entities to rebase from C7 -> C8 and then pulling the plug has caused tremendous ill will.

I fully believe this. Like I noted in another comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25358847, they have done this exact similar thing in the past with the JBoss application server community edition.
