I asked internally about this. There will be a set time [1] when RHEL 9.0.0 release will be branched, and all the final stabilizing stuff will happen internally. At that point, CentOS 9 Stream will be on the 9.1.0 release, and any changes to it will not be in the 9.0.0 GA. I don't know when that point in time is, I haven't figured it out yet. But my educated guess is 3 months before GA, if I'm wrong, then I don't think more than 6 months before GA. So, that gives us something to consider. Do we think that 3 to 6 months of possible changes will affect us too much?
