“Customers on 8.8.15/9 are encouraged to wait for the 10.1 release to upgrade.
So, do you mean that customers on 8.8.15, which is end-of-life since the end of 2023, should wait even longer. Do you have any other great encouragements?
And by the way, you should start working on Ubuntu 24.04 now to be ready before Ubuntu 22.04 EoL in 2027.
No mention of RHEL 9 support, has it been delayed *again* ?
I heard it’s targeted for Q3/24.
Which, TBH, doesn’t really come as a surprise to me.
Unless I have to, I am not going to update to Rocky8 in the meantime.
RHEL10 is epected to launch in 2025…but I can’t hold out for that.
We also planned to move straight from CentOS 7 to Rocky 9, skipping 8. Zimbra approved that plan… 2 years ago! And now with the EL7 EOL around the corner, we still don’t have EL9 support.
