It's not a "rolling release" in the most commonly used sense. There just 
isn't a minor number for releases.  CentOS Stream 8 will always be 
CentOS Stream 8, and never 8.1 or 8.2, etc.  Just one ten-year long 
release.  At any given point in time, a fully updated system should be 
backward-compatible with any applications that have run earlier in the 
release cycle.
