Well, I fled servers from CentOS to FreeBSD almost a decade ago. And actually
not From CentOS per se, but from Linux. One of the reasons was: every 45 days on
average: glibc or kernel update ?> reboot. One of my friends started using
word ?Lindoze?. Linux is perfect for number crunchers and workstations. FreeBSD
is waaay better for servers. In my book that is.
Just straightening small nuance.

Linux stands as a rock-solid solution. This opinion does not reject other CentOS
clones, but emphasizes the fact that Rocky Linux appears to be a solid option
for now and the years to come.
