We’e in the same situation. I’d actually be willing to pay for Redhat, but not with the
requirement to do a reinstall. So until RHEL 9 I need an alternative. While I have lots of
reasons to dislike it, I’m currently thinking of Oracle Linux for our remaining time on 8.
I’ve found delays in Centos 8 a concern already, so I’m not inclined to wait.
If the IPA developers can assure us that the version in Centos 8 Stream is well tested,
I’d use that instead. Historically IPA administrative tools have been brittle. Any slight
difference from the environment they expect and there’s a failure, requiring days of
reverse engineering an understanding of complex Python code. So I’m not inclined to gamble
on a release with less testing than usual.

It is the same as in past: FreeIPA upstream development team has no
influence or control over Debian or Ubuntu packages. There is a single
person (thank you, Timo!) doing whole packaging for Debian and Ubuntu
and this effort is not his primary focus at Canonical.
With the change of the CentOS project, there is a hope that downstream
packagers for RHEL and FreeIPA upstream developers will have a better
way to address needs of IPA users currently utilizing CentOS.
