Personal note: I am currently using Rocky, but I am very tempted by
Oracle Linux also. It has working secure boot and a proven update track
record (with security metadata for yum, which Rocky only recently
started providing). It also has an officially supported upgrade path
between major releases. The only thing stopping my adoption is Oracle
"the company". But, maybe, it is an irrational fear...

That aside, can I ask how is the EPEL-8 situation now? I remember that
one years ago many packages were missing compared to, say, EPEL-7. Is
the current situation better?

Regards.
