> There is no any guarantees Stream doesn't break ABI compatibility.

This is incorrect. Or, sure, there are no _guarantees_, but any such break would also break a future RHEL release, and is therefore a bug.

2. Five years.

AFAIK, there is no rule RHEL is strictly based on Stream.
RHEL is branched from Stream and released from the branch every 6 months.

I challenge you to find _one_ package in RHEL (as of the git.centos.org c9 branch) that reverted an ABI breakage that is in Stream, without said reversion having been applied to Stream as well.

So basically 2 times less, nice.

Isn’t that the same amount of time Rocky would be supported?
