What happened to the bug-for-bug compatibly promise? Or was that just Rocky Linux?
Ah yes, thanks! This:

> The most remarkable potential impact of the change is that we will no longer be held to the line of “bug-for-bug compatibility” with Red Hat, and that means that we can now accept bug fixes outside of Red Hat’s release cycle.

So you might say CentOS was a clone or RHEL (and Rocky, Oracle are trying to continue that), while ALMA is a fork (like SUSE, but much closer to RHEL).

Sure! That's likely an accurate representation. I also just gave this talk that goes a bit deeper, if that's helpful/interesting: https://youtu.be/Jjda39dlu7I
