[Users] virtuozzo base OS and new centos 8 orientations

[jehan Procaccia tem-tsp]

I did not had any reply from my question regarding CT template for a 
centos 8 replacement in 2021 as a  rpm based, up to date  distrib with 
LTS support
I realize that I missed 2 other distribs in my previous post, appart 
from centos/debian/fedora/ubuntu pre-package templates
https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.15-628/x86_64/os/Packages/s/
I can see in that URL Suse and SLES , I guess first one is openSuse and 
latter is SLes (with licenced needed ?)
but from that URL :
https://www.whatuptime.com/downloads/openvz-virtuozzo-7-templates/
there is no SLes nor (open)Suse here ... will these distrib continue to 
be available as vzlinux CT templates ?

I also realized from that latter URL that VzLinux7 itself is available 
as a CT template, if VzLinux continue to be a RHEL recompilation, then 
VzLinux8 (roadmap ?) would be a good alternative to centos 8 CT 
templates !?

Thanks .
