Please stop perpetuating this. I have already provided evidence that the current Stream kernel is already not compatible with RHEL and that software that runs on RHEL will not run on Stream. I have 12 examples of things that run on RHEL that do not run on Stream sat in front of me right now. I will probably have more once I test the new -259 kernel that's just been released. Take Wireguard VPN as an example. No sooner than upstream fixed the breakage caused by -257 on Monday, -259 landed and broke it again[2].
