I have to shake my head at this. You're telling the guy who builds, and had
built, CentOS for years what the project is and where it is going? He told
you what Stream is and what it will be used for already. It is the new
future of the OS. That's it. You're arguing semantics about having
Enterprise in the name, while ignoring that it's still Enterprise Linux,
even if it's not the final end product because it is the future source
project of Enterprise Linux.
