Okay, now that the release is out, and everything is announced properly. I'm happy to answer questions about Stream.
Short version is: We're working with RHEL leadership to help make RHEL development more transparent and collaborative with community engagement.
Lots of the engineering work is still "TBD" to make this happen, because we wanted to design/develop this in public collaboration with RH as possible.
Thanks for the openness -- this announcement is certainly very heartening news! The "C" in CentOS has long-meant Community-rebuilt and Community-supported, so having partially- Community-contributed is a great addition.
My question is mostly on package management and how submissions, upstream patches, and maintenance might work. Will there be standards similar to EPEL which can be written against? For that matter, given the necessary coordination between EL users and EPEL, how does EPEL enter the picture here?
Finally, curious whether and how Modularity and the rolling nature of Stream will interact.
