So Red Hat does and does not seem to support collections on RHEL-8. The
CentOS Stream of 8 ships with two software collections gcc-toolset-9 and
gcc-toolset-10 which are newer gcc collections than the base one. However
it doesn't seem they have other tools needed to make software collections
in 8 so work would be needed to update and maintain the scaffolding.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in
sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's Law.
All those moments will be lost in time... like posts on  BBS... time to
reboot.
