It's currently a concept and not a viable distro to move to and in some cases there is only a year to make the move. At this stage I'm not totally dismissive of Stream either. We already automatically update our systems with yum-cron / dnf automatic and I'm reading that if we're already doing that, Stream isn't going to be a departure i.e. minor version bumps - but I'm still trying to make sense of the impact in real-terms i.e. what actually changes if we move to Stream.
