Hello Alessandro,

Thanks for your answer. Actually my question was about more 8-Stream. 
Sorry. I think my message was not clear.

I knew that for CentOS 8, we have to wait but it was before the 
transition between 8 and stream.

So I'm now actually worried for the future. I think it's important to 
have security advisories for a distribution. All the main distributions 
have a security team and I always found that it was a lack for CentOS 
even if of course we could use the RedHat advisories.

CentOS Stream is a big change and something very different so I would 
love to know if advisoires publications will be part of that new project.

Thanks for your answers

Regards,
Olivier
