It's obvious Red Hat wasn't thinking clearly.  I'm not concerned about the
reliability of CentOS stream since I won't be using it. Ever.

It may be awesome, but it is not what CenOS was, a recompile of RHEL X.X.
And it's not ever going to be what we were promised we would have, over and
over and over, a supported CentOS 8 through May 2029.

We've been screwed. Plain and simple.
