Is he directly referring to Rocky Linux and Alma Linux when he says simply rebuilding code downstream?

That's my take, along with Oracle. "downstream" distros making "bug-for-bug" compatible alternatives to RHEL, and offering support which cuts into Red Hat's profit.

I used to see the value in Red Hat's offering as I use Fedora on my laptop and desktop, and Rocky (formerly Centos) on my home server, but now I'm leaning to move the server back to Debian or FreeBSD.
