Just one of those groups energised from this decision is Rocky Linux. There
are 4,606 people on their Slack right now, which did not even exist a week
ago.

 Yeah, it's more than five.

IIRC, one of the reasons cited that CentOS ?merged? with RedHat back then was
that a lot of people were using CentOS, but there wasn?t enough money generated
to pay the developers.

A lot of them were basically working for free.

That is never sustainable. At least not for a long time.

It?s also not often the case that you can split this kind of work into a
thousand work-packages and have everybody just work 1/2 hour a day on it.
