I think it might be fair to say that CentOS Stream can't accomplish Red
Hat's goals if it has no users, and it won't have any users if it isn't
reliable. The people who are alarmed that CentOS Stream will be
suddenly unreliable aren't thinking clearly about Red Hat's intent for
that distribution.
It's obvious Red Hat wasn't thinking clearly. I'm not concerned about the reliability of CentOS stream since I won't be using it. Ever.
It may be awesome, but it is not what CenOS was, a recompile of RHEL X.X. And it's not ever going to be what we were promised we would have, over and over and over, a supported CentOS 8 through May 2029.
We've been screwed. Plain and simple.
