I'm still using CentOS 7 because both security and stability are important to me. While CentOS Stream may, or may not, have comparable security, it is severely lacking in stability. IMHO both CentOS 8 and CentOS 9 are gigantic piles of garbage.
When the time comes that CentOS 7 no longer meets my needs, I'll be switching to some other distro, most likely Debian.

I now have only two servers left on CentOS - both on 7, as 8 and 9 and the whole stream thing just never passed my confidence tests. All my new machines since stream was enabled have been on Ubuntu LTS. It has been a learning curve, a little more work to deal with certain updates and the 5 years vs 10 years of CentOS is going to be more work still - however they at least provide an OS upgrade path that seems to work just fine, although apps and config changes are required as versions update.
Will keep watching, but having worked in large corporate environments with IBM as a major IT partner, there is no way I'm holding my breath for any meaningful change.
My thanks to the wonderful team that made CentOS what it was (up to version 7), and I understand their reasons to embrace the change - just not something I'm prepared to live with.
