Since we are loud about when we deviate from RHEL, and not loud about when we re-sync with RHEL, our community is gaining the understanding that we are more widely deviated from RHEL than we are. I know that https://wiki.almalinux.org/development/Modified-packages.html exists, but that doesn't track ongoing deviations, and when they are resolved.

I would like to see a table added either to that page or another page that shows very clearly when and where we deviated, and a brief mention of why, along with when the deviation resolved itself. As an example:

Package or service Date of release (production) reason for deviation (with link) OS Version impacted Date deviation was resolved (with link)
glibc Aug 8th, 2024 regression bug (blog) Almalinux 9.4 not yet resolved
openSSH July 1st, 2024 root exploit (blog) Almalinux 9 <insert date it was resolved, with link to the PR>

In this table, the link should either be to the PR where we merged the change in, or to a blog post or whatever, if we made one.

Examples of things we should be including in this table (and the full list that I have):
https://almalinux.org/blog/zenbleed-patch-call-for-testing/
https://almalinux.org/blog/testers-needed-for-updated-packages-intel-and-amd-cpus-affected/
https://almalinux.org/blog/2024-04-02-xz-and-cve-2024-1086/
https://almalinux.org/blog/2024-07-01-almalinux-9-cve-2024-6387/
