So, I want to back this up a minute.

There are two places where the language is being discussed.

First, on "Downloads"[1], if you click "Linux", you'll see a few panes, 
including one that says "Red Hat / Rocky / CentOS". I believe those 3 
are amongst those that Devrim explicitly tests the packages against. If 
there are more, they are encompassed underneath.

At this point, I would be -1 changing anything on #1 unless it adds more 
clarity to how users download. I looked at the data YoY, and clicks to 
the RHEL download page are up ~100%, which seems to indicate to leave 
things as is for the moment.

Then, there is the RHEL page[2] itself. It's divided into two sections:

- PostgreSQL Yum Repository
- Included in Distribution

IMV, I think it's fair to include Alma Linux in the "included in 
distribution", though per Tom's point we may want to ensure we have at 
least one buildfarm animal hitting it. However, we should make it clear 
what distributions Devrim test against, and perhaps add that disclaimer 
to the bottom of that list.

Or, at the top of the page where we list out distributions, we can add 
that line below.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Jonathan
