I too would be interested to know what happens to CentOS 8 Stream once focus of RedHat moves to RHEL 9? The life cycle document says the last release of RHEL8 will be 8.10, that's a five year road map (since point releases seem to be every 6 months), so the point releases will end in 2024, presumably the end of the point releases means the end of Stream updates? Have these things been thought out that far ahead?

As I understand it, the current plan is for there to be Stream 8 and Stream 9 in parallel. For one thing, once RH developers are all geared up for working in Stream 8, it'd be _extra_ work to pull that all back in-house.
