The Division of Corporations in DELAWARE shows:
Formation Date: 6/14/2021 (mm/dd/yyyy)

Anyway, in the context of ongoing attacks to the supply chain.
This situation where CentOS is running EOL will motivate new
black hats to step into the place. Imagine a massive deployed
OS that is trojanized?!

So trust is here king and despite all adversity (that also hits me
hard) we should thinks twice before running away into foreign arms.

And I feel safe running (and planning to run for long future to come) 
quite reputable ones with long history of such: FreeBSD (servers), 
Debian (number crunchers, workstations).
