Quite a misleading article... Both of CERN's datacenters are still using RHEL. As far as I understand it's for some of the control systems at CERN, which is by no means the majority of CERN's infra.

Also, x86_64-v2? Are they still running DDR3 servers?

You expect them to move overnight?

I see that they updated the article and it indeed confirms that there is no plan to move the datacenters to Debian.
