Likewise.  I gave up upgrading long ago, it's one of those "in theory"
things that often doesn't go according to plan.  Long term installs
over the top often end up with conflicts, and a mess of increasing
things collecting over time.

I'd agree with that too, though it seems CentOS is moving themselves
out of that position.  CentOS 7 lasts 'til mid-2024, CentOS 8 lasts
until the end of 2022, there won't be a CentOS9.

CentOS Stream is
becoming a RHEL preview, somewhere between RHEL and Fedora.  I can't
find the quote now (it was on their own website), but they were
recommending people don't use it as a long-term server solution.

Constantly planning for needing to upgrade your mail server, and when,
for example, is not my idea of fun.  More so for complicated databases.
