Yes, I’d very much like to see either 19.05 of 20.02 be released at least once in OpenHPC 1.x, or whatever version will support CentOS 7.x. We aren’t THAT far from moving to 8.x, but this would not be our ideal moment to do so but would like to remain supported (SchedMD has started the “you really should upgrade”). That doesn’t seem to be getting much traction with OpenHPC.
