I think that makes sense.  Discussing and writing about CentOS Stream
is separate from the technical infrastructure needed to build it.
That's what Brian was speaking to as well.

While inconsistency can drive us nuts, I'd rather prioritize getting
Stream up and running over having to update a number of tools to deal
with s/c8s/cs8.  That seems like an unnecessary delay for really
little payoff.
