The legacy C6 updates are still up on vault.centos.org.  Several of the final updates \
were released November 9th.  Terminating the mirrors and replacing them with the \
readme provided a strong message that people needed to migrate off C6.

In terms of there possibly never being a CentOS 8.5, I kind of agree and disagree.  I \
think it is very likely there will be no install media update for 8.5.  But I think \
CR will get the critical package updates fromn RHEL 8.5.
