Are you clarifying what the FAQ is supposed to say?

What it currently says is that there will be no SIG for extending Stream 8 beyond RHEL 8's end of full support.

RHEL 8 will still be under full support beyond Dec 2021.  I'm not trying to purpose extending Stream 8 beyond the full support period.  If I need to reword the RFC, please provide what wording you would suggest.
