That's my understanding, iff you automatically install all CentOS stream updates the moment they become available. But I still don't see why nearly no one is going for the idea that there be some way (ideally automated) to tag all the packages at the point of the RedHat release, and install only those from Stream once the RHEL release is ready?
Yeah, I have some sysadmin friends already working on exactly this for their deployment in a large-scale academic setting.
Will we know that point in time everytime before releasing? Because on release day the Stream repo is already a step forward. Albeit when this works then the situation are more worse then with CentOS Linux release work and the time shift compared to RHEL release. Why? Because 6 month updates are accumulated and not installed? Even cherry-picking is crazy. The audience here needs something different - but this was already stated elsewhere!
