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.
