Suggestion: add CentOS stream repo

[wm75]

CentOS Stream 10 has been released a few weeks ago and runs nicely on my Surface Go 3 (with the fc41 surface-kernel).
My question is if you see it within scope of this project to add and maintain a CentOS Stream kernel repo for people who like fedora, but value the convenience of an LTS distro?

Any opinions here?

Because of how the CentOS kernel is maintained and updated (= never), this would probably be way too much work.

That said though, the Surface Go line shouldn't need our patched kernel, so you will probably have a good experience with the default CentOS / RHEL kernel.

If you want or need to use the patched kernel you could use Fedora, and either skip every other version or always stay one version behind, since every release is maintained for a full year.

Well, not exactly the answer I was hoping for (my thought was that with the CentOS stream 10 kernel being quite similar to the fedora 41 one and not going to change much in the future, this would actually be relatively easy to do, but obviously I have no idea what it takes to maintain a kernel fork), but I can live with it.

I cannot boot into the CentOS kernel because of linux-surface/linux-surface#1162 (worked around it following more or less the instructions from linux-surface/linux-surface#1162 (comment).
But using the surface fedora kernels is a viable option, of course.
