> We will also start asking anyone who reports bugs in AlmaLinux OS to attempt to test and replicate the problem in CentOS Stream as well

So what's the point of running Alma then?

- Provide a maintenance period beyond what CentOS Stream provides.

- Potentially hold back CentOS Stream updates to stay more in sync with RHEL. If RHEL is on X.Y, CentOS Stream is technically on X.(Y+1) - Alma wants to be X.Y compatible.

- Provide ABI compatibility with RHEL which CentOS Stream may not provide.

* Provide ABI compatibility with RHEL which CentOS Stream may not provide.*

CentOS Stream by definition is ABI compatible with RHEL, and is required to be as such.

Buffer the stream.
Don't cross the streams? ;)
