Fermilab discontinued work on Scientific Linux in 2019 in favor of using CentOS: https://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=SCIENTIFIC-LINUX...

It’s possible they could choose to restart work on Scientific Linux, but nothing has been announced yet.



To add, Fermi and Cern released a join statement

>CERN and Fermilab acknowledge the recent decision to shift focus from CentOS Linux to CentOS Stream, and the sudden change of the end of life of the CentOS 8 release. This may entail significant consequences for the worldwide particle physics community. We are currently investigating together the best path forward. We will keep you informed about any developments in this area during Q1 2021.
