AlmaLinux can now develop and apply security patches and bug fixes ahead of RHEL since it's no longer a line-by-line copy of Red Hat's OS.

    The reason this is a first is because AlmaLinux recently decided to stop being a bug for bug clone of RHEL. Good for them. As this shows, they are now actually free to add value.

    Rocky Linux cannot ship this patch unless RHEL does. Rocky cannot contribute anything by definition.
