Is there any reason that RHEL 8 was not chosen? Alternatively Fedora Server on a faster update cycle? Was there any requirement or discussion around which distribution to choose for the new server? I can see RHEL 8 serving as a better platform than CentOS 8, particularly if Red Hat donates the licenses. Likewise using Fedora Server would keep all of our services running on the latest distribution with access to new server-side tooling for CI. Thank you for your time! -- Cheers, Carlos.
