Dear devel-team,
As posted on the ceph-devel Slack channel:
Just read the 18.2.4 release notes and the warning pointing tohttps://tracker.ceph.com/issues/66989 <https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/66989>.Unpleasantly surprised that this type of change has been made in a minor release update. RHEL 8 support is planned for up to 2029, why not make this change in the Squid release (allowing one to choose a time to upgrade the base OS)?!
while i understand that this change was disruptive, Ceph has never listed RHEL as a supported distribution: https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/start/os-recommendations/#platforms we use centos streams to build and test the rpms for our upstream releases. centos stream 8 reached its end of life on May 31 so we've stopped building and testing it on all releases that eol caught us by surprise. with better foresight and planning, we might have dropped stream 8 support for the initial Reef release last August to avoid changing supported distros in a minor release if you aren't ready for an OS upgrade, using Ceph in containers may help in the meantime
With kind regards,
Jeroen
