I use COPR builders for CentOS Stream, they are regularly broken, so 
nothing more to say that it has to be used for playground only.

Original CentOS Linux is a dead end now and I'm a pragmatism fan as all 
slavics, so I don't want to waste my time and energy for useless moves.

Nevermind if it's a sad choice, but Red Had has already betrayed me two 
times, and in best effort I will progressively my servers migrate to 
Oracle Linux, first one in testing mode last week, kernels UEK are more 
up to date, MySQL is in full edition, and they have achieved a pretty 
good documentation as well.

Last, if a new Community OS arise (Rocky, Lenix, back CentOS...) I'll 
will give a try and make another decision again.
