CentOS 8 is going to reach EOL soon, so replace CentOS with Rocky.

I didn't choose CentOS 8 Stream, because it's not stable as the legacy CentOS 8, and yet it's not progressive as Fedora.

I made a YAML for Stream 9, but didn't submit it - for just those reasons. Also there was no sshfs anywhere to be found...

Basically you have to rebuild old Fedora SRPMS, either yourself or institutionalized like EPEL.

I agree going with Rocky, but I still think that "Apptainer" is a silly name (for Singularity CE)

Have you meant to remove CentOS from here as well?

We deliberately removed CentOS 7 support (from lima), and there will soon be no more support for CentOS 8 (and there is not going to be any CentOS 9). So it is going to "disappear" eventually (as in next year), unless adding stream.yaml and explaining the difference between the distributions. https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/

Is Apptainer relevant to CentOS/Rocky ?

Sorry no, it was "another rename" happening

http://apptainer.org/news/community-announcement-20211130 - it doesn't affect centos.yaml, it affected singularity.yaml
