For the current minor releases (the .1, .2, etc) there isn't really an 'upstream' for rhel to pull from, or a place for people to publicly see what's coming. > New: fedora --> centos stream --> RHEL --> centos > > You're describing CentOS Stream as parallel to CentOS in the blog post > linked above, but then from the rest of it it looks like it's being used > to feed stable features in to RHEL, which would naturally then make > their way in to CentOS, same as things do currently. > They are two separate distributions.

CentOS Stream is a rolling development branch for RHEL. AppStreams are a conceptual piece of RHEL, CentOS and CentOS Stream. Where they are in their lifecycle differs based on which one you're running.
