After that RHEL 8 goes into maintenance mode and there will be no more content added to 8-stream (because it had reached the end of it's useful life as a pre point release distro). I think it's still not clear what exactly will be the fate of 8-stream after 2024. The implication is that 9-stream will be active by then and 8-stream will just disappear. In some ways it would be nice if it was frozen but kept, but it won't receive any bug/security fixes, so it may be deemed too "dangerous" to allow people access to it. I suppose it's natural home would be vault.centos.org, but we will have to see what RH think of that. P.
