One thing that hasn't been clear to me about CentOS Stream is if it is possible to determine that the repos at this instant are identical to a given RHEL minor release (and possibly stay there temporarily). For example, if I have a non-production system running CentOS Stream 8 so I can test out changes to RHEL earlier, can I be confident that testing on a certain date will be applicable to the next RHEL release when it comes out, or do I still need to test on RHEL separately when it is released?

I believe the answer is yes, but I'm not 100%.

My understanding is the the stream repo sorta rolls forward but leaves behind a trail of X.Y.Z checkpoint repos representing major.minor.batch-number, so that would be like rhel-9.1.0 for the zero-day batch of updates on rhel-9.1
