You are thinking of Alma, and I believe they are still going, though a lot seemed to be up in the air.
No, community is more stable and professional. Frankly given I get less issues than my Rocky counterparts working 1 rack over my look of "I told you so", every time, says it all.

Greg kurtzer is not the founder of CentOS. This is FUD he's been regurgitating ever since tricking one of the past CentOS community managers into doing a blog post. If you read the mailing list archives you'll see the truth.

#33And more drama from the machine that is being the FUD created over every misstep of RHEL/IBM. And I mean misstep not evil attack on the community. CIQ is the worst of FOSS and a blight causing nonsense arguing rather than actually contributing to a better community.

Well that's certainly _one_ way to tell the story, now isn't it, Jonathan.
Edit: also, it's literally the true version of the story. Do your own research. It's all public and logged.

You can't ban me here for speaking truth like you can on reddit, can you :) Edit: also, it's literally the true version of the story. Do your own research. It's all public and logged.

AlmaLinux is still 100% compatible with RHEL. Any suggestions otherwise is FUD.
This change: https://almalinux.org/blog/future-of-almalinux/ means that Alma is no longer covered by STIGs and other RHEL-specific certifications. Rocky is usually permitted to piggyback on such things. This has directly affected deployments (my team spent time migrating from one o the other as a direct consequence). Compatible, sure, but that is a narrow view of the value CentOS provided.
In regards to STIG, this makes me think of the "scap-security-guide" package that helps the openscap package run tests for compliance like PCI-DSS and HIPPA (among other things). While it is true that we mark ourselves as a "derivative" of RHEL in that package, it doesn't mean we have any certifications or the like and we certainly do not claim to have such certifications. The only thing we actually have officially is a CIS benchmark set at cisecurity.org.
AlmaLinux on the other hand appears to be upstreaming themselves into the content itself, which I think is pretty cool (https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/tree/master/prod...). I've always wanted to see Rocky Linux do the same thing for the past few years, but I don't know what it would take. I've asked our security team some weeks back to look into what has to be done, so maybe something will happen. I just know it will take a long, long time to get things figured out either way. (As much as I'd like to look into it myself and work with the security team, I just don't have the time in between my personal life, day job, and the project.)
