If xcp-ng uses EL9 as its "base", then I can prepare by making sure the<insert-application-here> configurations to be deployed on a new xcp-ng instance will be compatible with whatever <insert-application-here> version is used on EL9. That's all (for me).

I can tell you it will be still RPM based, for many obvious reasons 🙂 Again, people are giving too much significance on this, since the already critical packages are NOT coming from another existing distro.

Will XCP-NG be using AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9, CentOS Steam 9? Please tell me it won't be Debian-based...
