Hi,

re:

After a _long_ delay, yes, it has finally been officially released.

re:
> I know it is early yet, but we were wondering what the plans are
> for McIDAS-X to be supported on RHEL 8.

I can't speak for SSEC, but the Unidata policy (my policy wrt Unidata
McIDAS-X) has always been to make sure that the package works on the
latest, fully-supported release of RedHat/CentOS.  Exactly when this
will happen is, of course, TBD.

Cheers,

Tom
