Kind of finally. SuSE https://www.suse.com/news/SUSE-Preserves-Choice-in-Enterprise-Linux/

So... I think this is kind of the worst case scenario re SuSE - an actual fork. But Oracle kind of hints at that, and Amazon already dropped a RHEL compatible AWS Linux for sort of a Fedora Server?

Obviously none of this is great, but would anyone really want Oracle leading a RHEL "close as possible" rebuild? I don't know anyone is going to downstream them.

SuSE is even weirder, as I understand it, SLE/OpenSuSE is a fork from decades ago, or at least also uses RPM? I can't imagine they get any value from trying to make a RHEL fork really... Why not push SLE? All very confusing, that's for sure.
