Remove OracleLinux 8 from supported platforms to fix broken acceptance CI#60
Conversation
The litmusimage/oraclelinux:8 Docker image consistently fails SSH authentication during acceptance test provisioning, causing PuppetLitmus::RakeHelper::LitmusTimeoutError after 3 retries. RHEL 8-compatible coverage is maintained by the RedHat-8 and CentOS-8 test jobs which both pass successfully.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Since the issue stems from a broken docker image, short-term removing the failing test is a solution.
Long term the docker image will need to be fixed.
