Note that while CentOS Stream is continuously integrated (in a way that may not be suitable for production), each patch is still thoroughly tested, using roughly the same testing procedure as RHEL. So it's a mischaracterization to call it a beta test, but it's nevertheless not a production-grade stable platform for most purposes. It's a rather weird middle ground to be in, not one that I can think of any parallels for.
