> RedHat engineers have argued that keeping up to date would amount to effectively running a faster fixed (less buggy overall) OS than RHEL.

Wow, what a remarkable offering; they give free users even better service than their paying customers! It's so benevolent of them to give such amazing service away and definitely not use this totally-better product as a beta to ship updates before it gets to the stable users.

Edit: Seriously, though; if a company has 2 almost-identical products and claims that the free product is equal or better than the free product, they're either lying to the free users or defrauding the paying users.

The people who pay for RHEL want the stability. So a faster-updating OS is technically superior but requires more regular testing & development work from the customer side.

The people using CentOS also wanted the stability. And if RH had added Stream as an option, that would have been totally reasonable and a great move. It was the way they killed the stable version while proclaiming that Stream was totally a good replacement that was disingenuous, because it was not a replacement for "as stable as RHEL without cost".
