Without wanting to imply anything, but when I read between the lines:
This sounds that the next major RHEL releases will not provide sources
in a way, that allows someone to identify the current snapshot or point
in time of a RHEL release. That is exactly what people are complaining
about CentOS Stream and next minor release. So, everything (rpm
artifacts) are then on "upstream" (gitlab/rolling dev) and no more
"downstream" side (ftp:10yearsago, git:today). Do I misread this? (as
you stated, a multi-modal conversation would be more appropriate)

In an unusual turn of events, I actually should have been a tiny bit more ambiguous in my original response :). We haven't decided what to do with RHEL9's source code yet. It may end up at git.centos.org exactly as 8 does today. We're just not that far along in 9 development and those conversations haven't been finalized. I can say though - were I to put myself in a RHEL-9 rebuilders shoes though, best case source is exactly as its are today. Worst case I would have to look through the gitlab repo for specific versions I want as you've described above.

The above is *almost* English. Trying again.
