For what it is worth, I opened various RH bugzilla enhancement request in the 10+ years of using CentOS. One of the last: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1902781 That said, lets face in: current CentOS is not really a community, at least in the sense that a community can steer the project direction. Nobody polled for Stream or asked about it. Stream simply happened due to an unilateral Red Hat decision. *Which is PERFECTLY fine*, unless trying to masking it behind the "community" word. My view is that RH/CentOS would be relatively inadequate for many roles without the outstanding work done by EPEL and the rest of the CentOS community, unless you are an hyperscaler who can do its own internal package additions. Red Hat failing to recognize the enormous value of EPEL and former CentOS model really baffles me.
