This will only happen if no community replacement for CentOS gains traction. I wouldn't bet on that.

Me neither but, for some of the user base (HPC, Scientific computing, et al.), new model might not be sufficient. We'll see that.

The issue is too deep but, there are some older comments by me:

It will also only happen if CloudLinux goes the Debian route. Which they won't, as they're launching what looks like a somewhat credible initiative to replace CentOS.
