The Penrose Panel: Leadership Q&A
summary
RHEL 8 Beta introduces module streams so a single source module can build for Fedora, CentOS and RHEL and even provide alternate streams that override default packages; the module build service is the tool that actually builds those streams for multiple bases. A shared git repo and source-delivery code are ready for CentOS and Fedora but RHEL’s internal push logic still blocks rollout. Community gaps: documentation, web/outreach, and only a handful of maintainers manage packages across three distros.
