What I see here is Redhat optimizing the release cycle. Please correct me if I'm wrong or my english is bad but it seems to make a lot more sense from a development standpoint to have CentOS Stream than the overhead that was each CentOS release.
And in that process they gain a sort of dev branch of RedHat that people can use to get a distro as close as possible to what RedHat will be, but also beta testers.
- ghaff 6y ago>it seems to make a lot more sense from a development standpoint to have CentOS Stream For many scenarios it does. It gives far more visibility into what's coming in future RHEL releases than a downstream rebuild of past point releases did. However, a lot of people are used to those backward looking point releases because "that's the way we've always done things."(tm) I also imagine that many of the same people think nothing of using cloud platforms and services that are getting changed many times a day--but those changes are invisible for the most part so it doesn't bother them. I'm not sure beta test is all that meaningful a term in a CI/CD world. Yes, there is final acceptance testing for official releases but a lot of software we use is basically changing all the time.
