These are both good pieces of feedback, we're considering some of the wording here. Keep in mind that CentOS Stream is still ramping up (even though we've come a long way already). 

We want to communicate a few things like:
- CentOS Stream is made up of content intended for the next minor release of RHEL
- It is (or will be) a way to accept code contributions and dialog directly with RHEL maintainers
- There is one "Live" Stream open for such contribution at a time. Currently this is the CentOS Stream that's previewing RHEL 8. You'll likely need to perform a reinstall to jump from a CentOS Stream that previews RHEL 8 content to a CentOS Stream that previews later releases
