This is a MAJOR development with Redhat NO LONGER giving public access to the base RHEL source code.

I have not read it yet, but I think this is what is going on.

Seems likely that any derivative RedHat will have a harder time being 100% compatible with RHEL. Those that haven't moved to being a derivative to Fedora will have to or just take on a lot more work long term. Some other unrelated projects might have issues too in how they support RHEL/Rocky/Alma. How and if this has a big effect will take a while to find out.
