I have some boxes running AlmaLinux and I wonder if there would be future release from Alma.

They put a statement out:
Curious why you were using Alma and not CentOS tho?
CentOS in the past is ok.
But later, CentOS it is not ‘binary equivalent’ as RHEL. We have CentOS Stream but it is considered as RHEL upstream.
I do use Oracle Linux on OCI (oracle cloud).
For on perm or container, we wither choose Alma or Rocky.
Alma seems to be able to produce the point releasesof their enterprise Linux earlier than Rocky.

This is a really big issue to some big corporates.

Sorry I meant to say Rocky 
Why did you choose Alma over Rocky?
Red Hat was the first Linux I installed on my PC back in early 2000s when they were still offering installers for hobbyists. I probably have in some drawer at my mother’s home the Red Hat 6.x CD. Later I used Fedora and CentOS. Good times 
But now, I use Debian for my servers and Ubuntu or Fedora for desktop.

Alma Linux seems to able to produce release faster than RockyLinux
Alma Linux parent company is CloudLinux Inc.
Alma Linux is faster in releasing and it seems they got support (source code support of RHEL clones, as I read/heard somewhere) from the parent company.

Just now AlmaLinux announced that they would not be 1-to-1 bug compatible as RHEL.
Not sure if RockyLinux, OracleLinux would keep 1-to-1 bug compatible as RHEL in the future.
