Could this just be a consequence of RedHat de-prioritizing the OS? Are they focusing on their other more cloud based products (openshift etc) as that offers more value to IBM? If so, reducing costs for RHEL Linux by reducing Centos funding makes a lot of sense. I would expect even RHEL to loose steam. For my home application of Centos I am not too worried: I still have a year to decide what to do. Stream is not an option for me probably, as I need ZFS support, which will become a lot more complicated with Stream as a moving target. Interesting times...
