Nobody was “testing” rhel by using Rocky or Alma, they just didn’t want to pay for it. I mean you can test actual rhel for free!
Nah. Deploy Rocky or Alma in mass. Have RHEL for a few machines. When you got a problem, reproduce it in RHEL and call support.
That sounds pretty exploitative to me, and exactly the kind of use case that red hat wouldn’t want to support.
Think about what “bug for bug compatibility” actually means, they’re promising not to make any fixes or contribute to the build in any way!
I agree. It was told by my professor. He said "industry norm".
