Summary

CentOS 7 is no longer maintained upstream for a while. Now that
Rocky Linux compat layer supports lib32, it should be at feature
parity? Recommend that instead, and while here, tag spdx, align the
files table, and add lindebugfs(4) to the see also section.

MFC after: 3 days

Event Timeline

This recommendation is useless for users, because they can't control what Linux runtime will be used if they install a Linuxulator application.

Instead we should switch the default in Ports, which will result in all Linuxulator ports using rl9. Then we can optionally remove c7 altogether, but there would be no choice of runtimes anyways.

That sounds reasonable. Thanks!
