I would say that it's quite a long way away, actually. RHEL's model isn't
changing, so you can expect the amount of change in minor releases to stay
the same. And CentOS Stream won't have anything that's not planned to go
into one of those releases, so the overall change should be the same.

If, instead, you want more change, come join us over in Fedora Server. :)
