I have another question (really, just a technical question, not a tirade :)
):

How often will the images/ directory be updated when Stream is the only
CentOS distro?

Specifically, we use PXE boot for installs and often new hardware
necessitates moving to the latest point release of CentOS for the boot
image. How often will this happen when there aren't point releases anymore?

Similarly, how often will the iso files be updated?
