Why don't you maintain the 8.0 RPMs for RHEL and/or CentOS, so yourself 
and other 8.0 users can continue to use it while CentOSExtras/Plus moves 
towards 8.2 or sits at an old 8.0 release? Seems like a good balance 
between you and others getting the release they want, and allowing the 
'official' package maintainers to support 8.2.

Personally, I don't see this as a DRBD issue at all - It's what the 
CentOS DRBD maintainer chooses to support and distribute. I'm sure the 
CentOS community would appreciate someone maintaining 8.0 if it is 
desired by the users.

Considering the amount of time invested in this discussion, someone 
could have just built the RPMs already and stuck them somewhere for 
download. If I ran 8.0, I'd do it (or would have just given you my 
packages already), but I'm standardizing on 8.2.
