The RHEL Project CentOS Demise

The RHEL Project TIME UNTIL YOUR DEMISE: 386d 12h 07m 14s 37ms We offer two Linux distros: Purchase RHEL Purchase RHEL News and events We are shifting focus to lining our wallets Over the coming year, we have decided to take all the time you've invested into migrating to CentOS 8 and help you enjoy your 2029 2021 EOL as we attempt our new business strategy, license extortion. ALL IS WELL, DO NOT PANIC, USER. For existing CentOS users: there is no need to worry about your installed systems as they will continue to receive updates directly from Arch. Soon, we will release an update that will remove the CentOS repos from your system along with any CentOS-specific packages that no longer serve a purpose due to the project ending. Once that is completed, any packages installed from the CentOS repo that are in the AUR will begin to receive updates from there.

A parody RHEL website announces a countdown to the user's demise and offers “Purchase RHEL” as both available Linux distributions. The fake news section jokes about Red Hat ending CentOS, monetizing users' migration work, and absurdly moving CentOS packages to Arch and the AUR. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to CentOS discontinuation and perceived corporate license extortion.
