It would have to be something other then CentOS Stream. Maybe CentOS
gets some software streams/modules where you can choose Firefox 68 over
60, but it would have to come from EPEL I am guesing, with CentOS only
providing infrastructure for this change. But I somehow doubt it will go
that way, CentOS is ment as only rebuld of RHEL.
