CentOS - Jan 2021 - CentOS Stream suitability as a production webserver

The question for me, too is going to be, what will the VPS providers do? 
Digital Ocean, Vultur, etc.  I'll be at their mercy, without trying to
create my own image, if that's even possible.

Hopefully something emerges as the popular replacement (e.g. "Rocky"),
and they support spinning up with the replacement.

Anyone have  agues/opinion on the most popular emerging path those providers
will use, I'm all ears.

I guess we need to wait and see how the dust settles. For those lucky
enough to still be on CentOS 7, there's a bit of breathing space although
these things take time to plan and implement of course. Those unlucky
enough to have updated to CentOS 8 have less than a year to decide to move
to stream or another distro. It's a good job that there's not a global
pandemic disrupting work commitments so we have plenty of time to deal with
these decisions from above!

I'm sure it's my lack of understanding, but there feels too much hope
pinned on "Rocky", which seems like one person (albeit a key person)
going
it alone with the hope of a community following of disgruntled people. I
see a single readme file in the repo. I think I'd feel more comfortable
using Stream at this point.

The uncertainty is frustrating and unsettling.
