I&#39;m surprised there are still misconceptions about this.<br/><br/>If you aren&#39;t familiar with Carl, do note that he was part of the CentOS team at Red Hat. 2026-04-22T18:15:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvmjfhe3u430380dtqhaucwjsg7sz3zuflfvng8tf8vw8kppjeppgzyrn7h60nxwgguayv33qk49z2vavy4jw6dr078j4k4p8ra0a3wxrvc4tvzvj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs25w9xs975x2n6y4nw78j8m4k9cztfyvx604zdxyv30dze6s4wx3c9hxlks'>nevent1q…xlks</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That&#39;s not really what CentOS Stream is, though. CentOS Stream is a major-version stable release, just like CentOS Linux was.<br/><br/>But unlike CentOS Linux, Stream is supported all year long. CentOS Linux was unsupported for 2-3 months out of the year, every year. That&#39;s not a good security posture.<br/><br/>It is very very likely that the people who&#39;ve told you about Stream have also never used it. Since I do, I can say: It&#39;s good! Much better than the old process. 2026-04-13T07:38:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsta6l27sgdw5ngn5u8m29mf2wsaey04egjnlv90v3mcwnglux6p7gzyrn7h60nxwgguayv33qk49z2vavy4jw6dr078j4k4p8ra0a3wxrvclvzk24 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxx8ugn3v50sun25k2eu530myx97d6ux4rhrsx30tpj6enuufaxvsx8pwqu'>nevent1q…pwqu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>A lot of what you&#39;re saying sounds like common myths and misconceptions, so I have to ask: Have you actually used CentOS Stream? 2026-04-13T04:47:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxtctx0slgmdx42nc8aph2vk77573gpg4uas7dm9u9thp0xr8wheczyrn7h60nxwgguayv33qk49z2vavy4jw6dr078j4k4p8ra0a3wxrvckuhu3q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0vpvqng2curjrhyf7tw838w96v430wu2eg9kwg9tz09y255wsmhghth02m'>nevent1q…h02m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Firmly agreed. Paraphrasing, especially as a way to communicate how one feels about a statement will almost always hit 1 and 2 and 5, with a sprinkle of 4, and notes of 3. <br/><br/>It really is a perfect storm of unhelpful dialog.<br/><br/>Perfectly legitimate to quote someone and talk about the logical conclusions, or the way the statement is perceived, or how you feel, but it&#39;s almost always unfair not to start with what someone actually said, in their own words. 2025-11-07T19:45:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx6wzdhe3qtdjw746sxrlc790pwesvgs8u0drw0ta29zuw3gq7n9qzyrn7h60nxwgguayv33qk49z2vavy4jw6dr078j4k4p8ra0a3wxrvcpnams2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszp7f0ue2tmg62ts65qucrgq8g73cvjl57ncctlq0m36ugqfaxneqy4yglw'>nevent1q…yglw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I wasn&#39;t really trying to continue making top-5 lists, but here we are. 2025-11-06T03:36:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszp7f0ue2tmg62ts65qucrgq8g73cvjl57ncctlq0m36ugqfaxneqzyrn7h60nxwgguayv33qk49z2vavy4jw6dr078j4k4p8ra0a3wxrvch328mh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvt9ner78t0s776jtrg3l2zd45fs089hcaegllje6cf090g4jyz2chfvd6d'>nevent1q…vd6d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>5: Criticism should be constructive.

Metaphors are often good because of the connotations they carry, but we do not all have the same context for any given metaphor, and especially during negotiation or conflict resolution that can make others defensive. 2025-11-06T03:36:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2gepeusquayhg9xn8puwgc93hq87nwcsh6njz6ecyv48f7lra2dgzyrn7h60nxwgguayv33qk49z2vavy4jw6dr078j4k4p8ra0a3wxrvcg90u3q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw8amk26q9mz6jdsxtjjhe92uwhr8mgyq8u3pv79yup3flrs0kgtgvuxgq3'>nevent1q…xgq3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>3: Don&#39;t speak for others who have not asked you to speak on their behalf.

It was the most shockingly unprofessional and abusive display I had ever seen, and I spent the rest of my career talking about the importance of collaboration and respect. 2025-11-04T18:12:55Z
