Absolutely. The only path into RHEL minor releases that isn't through Stream is for CVEs and other embargoed changes. And those will go back into Stream as soon as they can.
Does that mean that it will always be possible to recreate the set of final RHEL point release packages by cherry-picking from Stream? If so, isn't that a solution (and, I'd argue, _the_ solution if there's some officially supported way of grabbing that set)?
There might be some complexity I'm not seeing, but offhand I don't see why not.
