From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They re-enable some things, restoring support would've been fixing it up if something breaks.
Is it just me or does the headline not fit the article
CentOS no longer offers support for users who re-enable those things. AlmaLinux has in theory committed to keeping those things set so that users don't have to manually re-enable them, and that to keeping them working, at least for now.
On the off chance that ALL THAT is true, it would be "restoring support" ... but I have no skin in this game and doubt that many, if any, CentOS users would be swayed to a new distro like so.
The author called RHEL an upstream of Alma multiple times in the opening paragraph. Didn't need to read more to know the article is trash.
