CentOS to Rocky migration tooling

This will probably just need to be a part of a documentation site. If anyone wants to work on testing/create documentation (and /or ansible playbooks as suggested) - you can use Springdale Linux to test it. I’m in the middle of a CentOS -> Springdale migration right now on a test VM and it seems pretty straightforward.

Update: Just as an example here’s working commands to go to Springdale 8:

dnf update -y
rpm -e --nodeps centos-backgrounds centos-indexhtml centos-gpg-keys centos-linux-release centos-linux-repos centos-logos
rpm -ivh \

dnf distro-sync -y
