I re-visit this thread, since it is crucial for CentOS 8 users.
RESF / Rocky Linux is gaining worldwide recognition and sets itself as
the primary organization / platform to become the CentOS 8 heir /
successor in the future.
Google and Microsoft become RESF sponsors/partners:

And so IBM/RH lose the tremendous advantage they had by owning the
CentOS project, which - it seems - never evaluated correctly.
From now on, it is clear that hundreds of thousands of CentOS
installations will be migrating to Rocky Linux.
I also wish the best of success to CentOS Stream, but this is not what
the CentOS community expected.
My 2c.
