I think you're pre-supposing that many packages in Stream will be ahead of
RHEL. That's not the case. In most situations here, the package version in
Stream will be identical to the one in RHEL. In cases where Stream is ahead,
in some cases the security fix will be include moving the RHEL package ahead
as well to match. In cases where that's too big of a change, the Stream
package will still need to be updated so that a regression doesn't happen in
the next RHEL minor.
