Hi folks,
This RHBZ tracks a problem in CentOS Stream: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1901449
Today someone closed it as a duplicate of RHEL 8.4: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1901449
When is it appropriate to track a bug against RHEL 8.4 vs CentOS Stream?
What do we expect community members (inside and outside RH) to do in these cases?
In my opinion, bugs for CentOS Stream should not be closed in favor of RHEL 8.4 bugs (or any future unreleased RHEL 8.x bugs). Instead it should be the other way around. The pipeline for changes to RHEL means that RHEL 8.4 bugs should be closed as dupes of CentOS Stream ones.
That's a reasonable perspective, but often the RHEL bug has been around for quite some time and has far more relevant data to the issue at hand. It's not really about RHEL vs. Stream, but rather which bug has the most useful information.
I think the Stream team are still formulating some contribution guidelines and this might be something to consider as part of that work.
