Sorry Pat, I'm not seeing that?

Taking just one example, CentOS8 has kernels  4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64.rpm 
and 4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64.rpm as seen here:

http://mirrors.coreix.net/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/

whereas CentOS Stream still only has kernel 4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64.rpm 
and not the security update.

http://mirrors.coreix.net/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/

That's just the kernel. In fact I can't see _any_ security updates in 
stream. Am I missing something?
