Hi Alex. No, you missunderstood.

As Jim Perrin wrote:
"They are two separate distributions. Currently CentOS Stream and CentOS
Linux differ only slightly, but this will change in the future."

CentOS Stream will be development distro for next RHEL minor (and later
major) version.

Once Red Hat releases RHEL, CentOS project will rebuild it and release
CentOS, just like it did so far.
