Wait, that’s no the first kill:
What was CoreOS and CoreOS container Linux ded, owned by BreadHat.
And now CentOS.
- We are accelerating support for cPanel on Ubuntu LTS, and expect to deliver a production-ready version in late 2021.
Found a leaked video clip from cPanel’s engineering department when they got that email without much deliberation.
Wonder how long until Plesk absorbs cPanel…

I never understood why so many prefer Ubuntu for servers, instead of plain Debian. (I get it if it’s about LTS.) Maybe somehow corporate support/backing by Canonical plays a role, but I find Debian to be easier to maintain and also upgrade between major versions.
(Uhm, maybe I’m derailing this thread.)

LOL Yes it’s a huge task to accomplish within 1yr for production grade release. Though we don’t know how far along in development they already were before the announcement 
So, end of the next Year, we got a CentOS experimental version + CPanel experimental version, gg.
Spun up CentOS 7.9, CentOS 8.3, Debian 10, Oracle 8.3 and Ubuntu 20.04 guest LXD containers to play with to see what’s what overtime
