We **will** be shipping a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.5 once it is released, even if that means that thisis released slightly after the EOL date.
The releaseof a RHEL point releaseis often accompanied, immediately afterwards, by a setof zero-day updates. We **will** be providing this contentas part of the final CentOS Linux 8 release. There will, however, be no more updates to the CentOS Linux 8contentafter that time.
Additionally, with this deadline falling during a time when many of our team, as well as many of our users, will be out of the office, we intend to bend the usual EOL process by keeping this content available until January 31st.
At that time, or in the event of a serious security bug inthis time window (Defined as anything with a VCSS v3 score of9 or greater), this content will be removed from our mirrors, and moved to [vault.centos.org](https://vault.centos.org) where it will be archived permanently, since we will not be able to provide updates to the content after the EOL date.
