Currently seems a nice patch for containing the getaway that anyone is looking for. Nice because it’s an option for having something else than CentOS Stream.
It’s good and strong enough? Time will tell.
This allows the projects working on top of CentOS to keep running business quite as usual. And creating customers for RHEL in future.
But this is nothing for the companies who relied on CentOS, which seems the hay the greedy and hungry blue cow seems starving for.
Been testing AlmaLinux early days but very impressed thus far.
Just tried alma linux… loving it 
Anyone tried the almalinux-deploy script yet?
Nice, but I’ll wait until NethServer is ready…
At the moment, I have no projects needing a RHEL8 base.
All present projects use either NethServer or Debian. And a few BSD based stuff too…
But no RHEL8 needed so far.
Alma / Rocky are only interesting if you want / plan / prefer a RHEL8 base…
My 2 cents
Andy
how it look like? Will be there any upgrade to newer os?
Yes of course,
but the way, which system nethserver will use is not decided yet.
To revive this discussion 
Development of Centos-Stream 9 started:
https://composes.stream.centos.org/production/latest-CentOS-Stream/
Can not find the directory where I found the iso again…sure installed it for aarch64:
EDIT: here is a x86_64 iso
[root@stream9 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Stream release 9
[root@stream9 ~]# uname -a
Linux stream9 5.13.0-1.el9.aarch64 #1 SMP Wed Jul 7 14:09:06 UTC 2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
It’s a pity it turns out (after installation) you need a rhel developers subscription to do something with it, ie be able to install/update packages.
[root@stream9 ~]# dnf update
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
Error: There are no enabled repositories in "/etc/yum.repos.d", "/etc/yum/repos.d", "/etc/distro.repos.d".
Even though I recognize RHEL did (and does) a lot for the open-source Linux ecosystem, (IMHO) a sense for FOSS community is still hard to find. 
EDIT2:
with a bit of repo configuration is comes to live:
[root@stream9 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/BaseOS.repo
# BaseOS.repo
[baseos]
name=CentOS Stream $releasever - BaseOS
baseurl=https://composes.stream.centos.org/production/latest-CentOS-Stream/compose/BaseOS/$basearch/os/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
[root@stream9 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/AppStream.repo
# AppStream.repo
[appstream]
name=CentOS Stream $releasever - AppStream
baseurl=https://composes.stream.centos.org/production/latest-CentOS-Stream/compose/AppStream/$basearch/os/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/Here’s and article recollecting what is being discussed regarding CentOS 8 EOL and repositories.
Switching a development process from “closed” to “open” is much more difficult than releasing proprietary code with an open source license: it requires people to change the way they work.
The CentOS Stream idea from this perspective is a real challenge!
I’m sure they’re fixing it soon!
Yes, to some extent the Enterprise Linux Community at large needs to do some soul-searching too 
IBM and Community.
Oxymoron?
I think you schould Nethserver 8 make only as AD server, LDAP mail server, Mail server … Firewall or VPN is not needed, but this is only my opinion. Later you can implement all of those 
Ok, it’s been a while, but there still are developments on the Rocky Linux front:
https://docs.rockylinux.org/release_notes/9_0/
RL 9.0 has been released
It looks promising!
