CentOS 7.9.2009 Rough Status Page
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9 was released on 2020-09-29. We are currently building the CentOS-7.9.2003 release from those sources.
One major issue with this release is that the aarch64 and power9 (ALT) architectures are no longer being done as part of RHEL-7.9. The CentOS project is going to TRY to maintain our aarch64 and power9 arches in 7.9.2009 and throughout the entire CentOS 7 Linux life. Since the kernel-alt is no longer being maintained by Red Hat for RHEL-7.9 we are going to try to backport the currently maintained EL8 kernels for ppc64le and aarch64 into CentOS-7.9.2009.
