Fedora Workstation is meant for those situations. For example, Red Hat's investment in the desktop is focused on enterprise needs, not so much on individual developers or students and other academic use cases. Fedora offers a lot of things that just aren't Red Hat's areas of attention for RHEL. So, what happens to Fedora? Miller said, much of what happens in:įedora-land just stays exactly as it has for the past decade. Of course, there's some learning curve, but the intention is for this stream to be as stable as the released RHEL product because being able to make it so literally is the value of Stream to Red Hat." It's just released in a … well, in a stream … rather than in a big dump every six months. What's actually happening, Miller stated, is "Everything that goes into CentOS Stream is actually approved for release to paying RHEL customers. "CentOS Stream," Miller said, "is continuous development of RHEL after the fork from Fedora." This is where a lot of miscommunication is happening with terms like "rolling-release" and "unstable development branch" getting kicked around. That's a problem and that's what CentOS Stream is meant to address.
And, once that fork from Fedora happens, RHEL development traditionally has all been inside the Red Hat firewall, with the results seen in a restricted-access RHEL alpha, an RHEL beta that few people actually look at, suddenly a public release of the point-0 version, and then secret development of each subsequent point release. While obviously RHEL has been successful, when you do something only once every few years, it's hard to really get good at it: each time is like learning anew. "Fedora integrates thousands of "upstream" open-source projects into a unified distribution on a six-month release cadence, and every so often Red Hat takes that collection, forks it off, and produces RHEL." That will remain the same. But, Miller wants you to know that, contrary to rumor, Red Hat is not "canceling or pulling out of open source commitments in general, and from a Fedora perspective I just don't see that at all."įedora, just as it always has, will be the upstream for RHEL.
