Oracle....On a side note, the migration script centos2ol.sh currently only works for Oracle Linux 7. On a whim I sent a mail to the address found on the download page and instantly got a reply from a guy with an @oracle.com mail address. I asked some more questions, and he answered everything patiently. tl;dr: an updated version of the centos2ol.sh script will be published very soon, with support for CentOS 8 -> OL 8.
