Aoife,
Many thanks… this came up as we’re working on getting Puppet facter detecting stream correctly (https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/2291)

I agree with Tim about the inconsistency. I've been referring to the distro as CS8, or just CS if I'm not talking about a specific version. The branches are named the way they are for technical reasons, but there is no reason we have to use that naming pattern when discussing the distro.

We will keep you informed when we have something in writing and its on our TODO list this month to get in place :)
Kindest regards, Aoife

Good to see there is a style guide in preparation.
CentOS Stream 8 and c8s would seem to be inconsistent to me (as opposed to cs8) but the most important thing is that there is an agreed standard for all the repos, VM metadata, inventories etc.
Cheers, Tim

Hi Tim,
The CentOS Stream team are working on a style guide right now which we hope to publish soon, our aim is towards the middle to end of March. This will guide people wishing to add Stream on the correct version names and shorthand to use.
FWIW I refer to it as CentOS Stream <number> and c<number>s for shorthand :)
Thanks for bearing with us though on this, its being worked on actively and we hope to get something out to the public soon.
Kindest regards, Aoife

I see a number of different ways of naming CentOS Stream versions and it would be good to agree on a consistent one, especially as a number of other communities start to add stream support.
Specifically,
- Is it “CentOS Stream 8” or “CentOS 8 Stream” ?
- Is it “cs8” or “c8s” ?
