No mention of Fedora? Is it not feasible that those currently using CentOS, and don't wish to use the supported Red Hat, will gradually migrate to the CoreOS, IoT or Server version of Fedora?

I would think that would be easier than migrating to a different package management system.

People use CentOS because it's stable - you can run one version for years, and get security and bug fixes, with no feature changes.

This change to CentOS means it won't have that stability, so some will need alternatives.

Fedora changes even faster than the new CentOS - a new version every six months! Each version is maintained for just over a year, and the maintenance includes new features.
