So when you remove binary compatibility, why would anyone bother with
CentOS/RHEL unless they want a job in a company that pays for RHEL
support?

What sort of binaries are you concerned about being incompatible?

Any kernel device drivers, for a start. Kind of critical if your SAS/RAID device wont boot, or your network device doesn't come up, or your GUI doesn't start because your display drivers aren't compatible anymore. Just minor things like that maybe?

OK, so out-of-tree drivers. If those keep on working does that make CentOS Stream viable for your use?
