One more aspect I missed in my previous reply:

That is still only half of the 10 years that were originally announced for 
CentOS 8. And it will actually be even shorter for CentOS Stream 8 because 
it was released late:

"2019-09-24 to 2024-05-31 (4 years, 8 months)"

The EOL date is even no later (actually, even 1 month earlier!) than for 
CentOS 7, from which everyone was getting told to move away, to the very 
CentOS 8 that is now getting discontinued early.

Compared to Fedora, definitely. (Fedora is nowhere near LTS, so it is 
trivial to have longer-term support than Fedora.) Compared to other LTS 
distros (e.g., Ubuntu LTS), yes, it's about par. But compared to RHEL, it's 
only half the support timeframe (not even counting the ELS option that costs 
extra, only the standard EOL).
