Years ago I switched from Gentoo to Debian/Ubuntu, because I was looking for more stability. I was just tired of resolving problems, that I don't care. This CentOS switch feels for me like exactly opposite direction.

On the other side, for containers where you can just refer to previous version/build, it doesn't necessarily have to be that disastrous. A lot of apps that I support, are just single package JAR files dropped into Java base image. It's quite hard to break it by OS updates.

The worse thing I see here is that they changed EOL time for already released version. We were building some assumptions about it and they're all gone now.
