Builds of .NET 8 in CentOS Stream 9 are available for arm64, ppc64le, s390x and x64. For .NET 6, it is arm64, s390x and x64.

Sure. That would be in the .NET 8 variant of this file, right?

The point of removing all the RHEL compatible builds (beyond RHEL) is to reduce noise with a simple statement. If there are RHEL-compatible distros with their own .NET 8 builds, then that's a different story. I'd be happy for CentOS Stream 9 (or any other distro) to be added to the .NET 8+ variants of these files if they provide their own builds. Same thing for linux.md.

Yes. I missed that this was .NET 8 at first. For .NET 6/CentOS Stream 9, arm64, s390x and x64 are supported.

I updated all .NET 6, 8, and 9 files for CentOS Steam. PTAL.

Was this supported on .NET 7? If yes, then we should update those as well to at least have the history correct.

.NET 7 on CentOS Stream 9 is available (at least to install) on arm64, ppc64le, s390x, and x64).

@richlander That's more a topic for distroessed, but I think it's still good to start the discussion here as that's a nice example.
Should we add a text in the version column if there are no supported versions left? It might confuse people. We could add [None](#out-of-support-os-versions) to make it more obvious that the information on why there's nothing can be found in the Out of Support section.

That problem occurred to me and your solution is better than what I had considered. Happy to do that.
I'll update .NET 7 as well so that it matches what I did with .NET 6. Naturally, I don't want to keep updating the .NET 7 EOL information, but this change seems warranted to make it correct.

How does that look @Falco20019 @omajid? I think I applied all of your feedback. |

I added sections for CentOS and CentOS Stream to clarify our support position.
The intent for .NET 8+ was to rely on our RHEL compatibility statement to take care of the RHEL-compatible distros.
Doing that for .NET 6 doesn't make sense, for two reasons:
All in all, it makes good sense to clarify our position on CentOS given that CentOS 7 recently went EOL.
We'll publish a separate announcement on CentOS 7 support to provide better visibility than just this PR.
