#Redhat has determined that they see no value in a downstream rebuilder of #rhel #linux https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hats-commitment-open-source-response-gitcentosorg-changes

Given that, as the #MicroMirror team @warthog9 and I have concerns in supporting RHEL's upstream development branch in a community manner. We have removed Centos-stream from the eight Micro Mirror nodes as well as our main mirror.fcix.net mirror which were hosting that project, explicitly over these concerns.

The MicroMirror project is run, literally, as a hobby and a public benefit. No one on the team is paid for this effort, and in fact costs us money (though we actively appreciate and love the support we get, we still throw our own skin into this game too!). It's hard to be a part of Redhat's community when they seemingly take umbrage with our support, so from our perspective Redhat needs to either embrace the community as we have always wanted and expected from them, or until such time as they do they should consider getting into the Linux mirror business for their development branch of RHEL.

in reply to Kenneth Finnegan

Depending on how you count it, the Micro Mirror project was about a quarter of Centos-stream's public mirror capacity in the United States.

Not ideal that we ended up being that many of their mirrors, and I always would have preferred that we had more diversity in mirror operators, not less.

But this is Redhat reaching the find out part of community management here.
