Did IBM Kill CentOS 8?

Would it really be in IBM's interest to kill (or soft-kill) CentOS? I thought the reason RedHat had embraced it is that it kept more folks/companies in the mind-space of RedHat: if they weren't going to make money from CentOS users then at least those users wouldn't move to the outer edge of Canonical's sales funnel by going with Ububtu Server.

Maybe IBM sees this differently.
