I'll be interested to see how this turns out.It may already be too late. Even if RedHat says "my bad" and goes back on this decision, not many will trust them in the future.

Just say "OK, we are having our company planning, but our planning and operations are deeply affected by our community, so we cannot remain indifferent to their loud feedback; we shall support CentOS 8 as initially announced for its complete life-cycle and we guarantee that officially." If they shut their ears to to the whole world, it's an even bigger mistake. Nick
