Ignoring lots of the "we haven't built it yet" mechanics, contributing to a SIG or EPEL should be reasonably similar. There may be guidelines or policy variance, but that should be about it.

Anyway, what I'm saying is that I'd much rather desktops stay in EPEL rather than be pulled into CentOS streaming, and then possibly RHEL.
I think the ideal state here is that EPEL packages and modules are easily and seamlessly available in CentOS Stream.
