It probably will be, as long as someone is willing to maintain it there. EPEL gets engineering and infrastructure resources from Red Hat, but individual packages are maintained by volunteers.

Meta uses CentOS but they aren’t leeches. They contribute a ton to CentOS, EPEL, and further upstream in Fedora and in individual software projects.
2·1 year agoCentOS still works great for servers. The problem with classic CentOS and other RHEL clones is that they can’t fix bugs or accept contributions that change the OS. CentOS finally fixed these problems by moving upstream of RHEL (but still downstream of Fedora). It is now the major version that RHEL minor versions branch off from, so it’s still very stable and highly compatible. I’ve got a thread with diagrams that may help.
For this to be accurate you need to change it to “why don’t you rewrite it in rust”? Rust fans say this so often they made it an acronym (RIIR).
