From my observation point, I see that Rocky already has some sizeable following. Esp, from research community.

We do indeed. Adoption numbers are promising <https://rocky-stats.tiuxo.com/auto.html> but community size is enormous as well. 9071 folks on https://chat.rockylinux.org, ~300 folks on IRC, ~4100 folks on the forum, etc.

Adoption by many large organizations / businesses was also quite fast. And may have even caused us some trouble, I suspect the attention garnered by NASA's use of Rocky Linux had something to do with instigating Red Hat's recent antics.

The charts really look impressive. I didn't expect such an uptake. The funny thing is, people have tried it first (ephemeral instances), then started to migrate.

Fascinating. No wonder why Red Hat got a little irritated.
