I don't use CentOS Stream, I use RHEL. I use RHEL to develop software for RHEL and compatible OS clones, including CentOS. If Stream retains binary compatibility, and specifically kernel ABI compatibility, then the users of the software packages we develop can continue to use them. If not, they can't. Simple as that. So please don't push rolling kernel updates to Stream that break the kernel ABI.
Rolling kernel updates are going to kill all the traditional HPC clusters. Almost 25% of the TOP 500 HPC clusters run CentOS. See https://www.top500.org/statistics/list/ DH
