That may be, but in view of the fact that you can even get a version of CDE that works (very well) on Centos 7 (https://github.com/dcantrell/cderpm if you're interested), I find it difficult to believe that a widely used and mature desktop like Mate will just disappear on a widely used and mature Linux distribution like Centos. And since I've been using Centos for everything for a lot of years I'm not in a hurry to change...

CDE can actually be installed on Centos 7 through yum: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dcantrel/cde/ Just install the repo file and "yum install cde" That gives you CDE version 2.3. I installed it on an VirtualBox image that I use for testing stuff and it looks pretty cool. I missed out on CDE when it was the current thing; I was still using MSDOS (and DesqView) until about 1998...

Without wanting to sound too pushy, I'm wondering if there is any update on the status of Mate now that Centos 8 has been released?
