> As for Stream 9 which was release recently, it is indeed the stabilisation socle based on fedora 34 that will eventually become RedHat 9. Once RedHat 9 released, Stream 9 branch will be stabilized and once again be "just ahead" of the impending RedHat 9 rpms. Stream 9 is currently tracking RHEL 9.0, it shifted from the 9.0 Beta back around August. As we approach the ~May release for RHEL 9.0 GA, Stream 9 will start tracking RHEL 9.1 changes. A key difference between Stream 8 and Stream 9 is the way the distribution is built. Stream 8 is a technically another rebuild project by the CentOS team, but one that rebuilds newer branch packages from RHEL engineering. In Stream 9, RHEL engineers are doing the builds themselves and are directly involved in the entire process. There's a possibility that Stream 8 may adopt the Stream 9 workflow, but I'm not certain. With an EOL of 2024, it might not be considered a priority.
