I don't think this will be viable for the people who really are looking for direct RHEL compatibility, but lots of people like me just use the basic structure of RHEL because we're familiar with the config locations and tooling, and we like the stability over time. If Alma can replicate that aspect then it's still good for me even if they're not bug for bug compatible. Rocky still seem to be going for 100% compatibility and I think that will be harder to maintain over time if RedHat actively fight it.
