One concern is if such a change might similarly break our Stream 9 users -- but... are there any Stream 9 users out there?
There certainly are Stream 9 users out there. We originally started (back in Nautilus days) using Debian, but eventually abandoned it when we found that dysfunctional Debian packages were being published, and were told they weren't even tested at all before release. And, fair enough, the OS compatibility matrix we were pointed to showed Debian as category C.
We made the decision to migrate all Ceph clusters to Centos 9, as this was Category A. It was a non-trivial task, especially as we didn't have Centos of any version on the estate. But, with a couple of minor exceptions, it has been very reliable since (now on Squid).
For those of us not using cephadm (here is not the place to go into all the reasons why) it is important that we have reasonably stable distribution support. The current situation where there is one rpm-based and one deb-based distribution in the top tier seems quite reasonable. But please, please.... do not consider dropping a Category A distribution without very good reason.
