Summary0000287: Errata are no longer being updated
DescriptionComparing RHEL, AlmaLinux and RockyLinux errata pages (links below), it looks like RHEL and Rocky are well aligned, while AlmaLinux has no longer been publishing advisories since July 01 2022.

This seems to be a big issue for servers where updates are applied using the `--security` flag in `dnf`, as that means that no updates are applied at all and the servers remain unpatched.

* RHEL - https://access.redhat.com/errata-search/#/?q=&p=1&sort=portal_publication_date%20desc&rows=10&portal_advisory_type=Security%20Advisory&portal_product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux&portal_product_version=8&portal_architecture=x86_64

* AlmaLinux - https://errata.almalinux.org/

* RockyLinux - https://errata.rockylinux.org/
Steps To ReproduceAs an example, I tried the following command in AlmaLinux and RockyLinux, looking for a specific security fix which was released on July 13 2022.

* AlmaLinux
```
[root@alma ~]#dnf updateinfo --all --info --cve CVE-2022-1729

[root@alma ~]#

* RockyLinux
```
[root@rocky ~]$ dnf updateinfo --all --info --cve CVE-2022-1729
Last metadata expiration check: 1:10:55 ago on Thu 21 Jul 2022 08:41:19 UTC.
