OK I am new here, I just signed up... but I just installed Centos 8, and went to install Cpanel and get a big red message full of text that Cpanel will not install and is not compatible. Really ? Why did I just pay a monthly fee ? You guys don't keep current ? What the Hell ?

There's an update here btw - https://features.cpanel.net/topic/support-for-rhel-8
Is this still valid?
Also, any plans on in-place upgrading of Centos 7 installations to Centos 8? This is important in that we could then decide whether we should wait for Centos 8 capability or should we just migrate to Centos 7 now in the safe knowledge that it will eventually be upgradable to Centos 8.
That is correct, which is why we are suggesting CloudLinux 6
Because cPanel doesn't support CentOS 8 as of right now, while there may be ways to do this through outside channels you risk stability and there is no support if you run into problems.
This is still valid, if the OS allows the upgrade this way through officially supported channels it is possible this would be a possibility but I do not have details on this right now.
The lack of urgency is troubling. Centos 6 is no longer supported and now centos 6 is blocking version 88 upgrade.
It's ridiculous to expect us to upgrade to centos 7 and then mere months later have to do another wholesale upgrade to centos 8..
This should be prioritized so we can move ONE TIME to centos 8 without having to make 2 major migrations and without having to pay for CloudLinux extortion.
At this point, each day centos 6 blocks an upgrade because we don't have a reasonable path forward, we're paying for a service we aren't getting full value out of.
You shouldn't both be charging full price for licenses and not supporting the latest operating systems which have been out for more than 9 months. Especially since the release previews were available to cpanel for months ahead of it's release.
Supporting new OS versions shouldn't come last, it shoul be a priority.

The least one could expect would be support for the most popular server OS that is already out since almost 1 year, considering the new "premium" pricing.
The priorities are questionable. Why would MySQL 8 have higher priority than CentOS 8?
Support for MySQL 8 could have been added later, as it's much easier to upgrade MySQL than CentOS (if upgrading from CentOS 7 to 8 is safe at all).
We have a few server leases ending in mid September 2020. It's very frustrating for us and hundreds of clients if we'll have to stick to CentOS 7 for another 3-4 years, then go through the hassle of migrating servers again before CentOS 7 reaches EOL.
