I am strongly against this. The field is called ID_LIKE, not ID_UPSTREAM. CentOS Stream is like RHEL. Based on koji builds, CS8 is currently 80% identical to CL8, and therefore approximately 80% the same as RHEL. To be clear, I'm not pulling this percentage out of thin air, I'm using the productmd python library [0] to get the numbers out of our compose metadata.
