CentOS no longer downstream of RHEL

FYI, going forward CentOS will no longer be usable as a no-license
downstream/rebuild of RHEL. I guess that'll influence the project's
ability to build and test packages for RHEL using CentOS:
https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/
Their FAQ https://centos.org/distro-faq/ states:
"If you’re testing for RHEL, RHEL is the best operating system to use."

The Shib deployers community's reaction remains to be seen, which
could also influence the projects directions (wrt CentOS being the
primarily supported distribution on GNU/Linux), I would imagine.
