He also quotes a bland endorsement from an Intel VP, stating that Intel is "excited about the potential of CentOS Stream within our customer ecosystem." Wright ends Red Hat's announcement with a section titled "building a broader, more diverse community"—but community, at least in the traditional open source sense, seems to be exactly what's missing from this initiative. His closing statement—"Red Hat intends to provide the tools, support, and expertise to help all use cases transition to the new innovation hub for RHEL"—sounds well-intended, but we suspect it will hit most CentOS Linux users as just what it is—a top-down corporate initiative rather than a true community outreach.
