In the cases where RHEL + 0.1 (note not +1) won't work, I think it's incredibly likely that this will be covered by the expanded low- and no-cost RHEL offerings. Part of the buried lede here is that with more RHEL accessibility, a lot of the function that CentOS served for users will not be necessary anymore. > No company will want to pay double the amount they are currently paying > for RHEL licenses.
