Because it is quite different than when I originally linked to it. I know you and your team are going through alot of garbage being thrown at you from all sides. I apologize if this seemed like just another sling at you. It wasn't intended to be. But when I do a google on CentOS Stream FAQ, the link to the wiki is what I, and others are getting. I couldn't figure out who updates it, so I sent the request here. Because, as you said, what it was saying was no longer true. Troy
