While working on EPEL9, it seems that even more packages are missing
from RHEL9 than were in RHEL8.  The latest I found was cppunit, which
appears to be completely missing from the CS9 repos despite having been
built (See
https://kojihub.stream.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2414) and
presumably in the CS9/RHEL9 buildroot.

So I scraped some screens from pkgs.org:

Stream 9:

CentOS AppStream Official   x86_64 8882
CentOS BaseOS Official      x86_64 2357
CentOS CRB Official         x86_64 1856

Stream 8:

CentOS AppStream Official   x86_64 15008
CentOS BaseOS Official      x86_64 6721
CentOS PowerTools Official  x86_64 3771


Sorry, but those numbers are wrong for a comparison.
There are not 15,000 unique packages in AppStream, not even close.
What I believe you, or they, are counting is the total number of packages released.
So, if the kernel has been released 15 times since Stream 8 started, then it's counted as 15.
Because of that, it's natural for the numbers to be bigger, because Stream 8 has been out longer.

If you want the numbers, I can get them.
Last time I checked, RHEL9 was very close to the same number of packages as RHEL8.
It was more, but very close to the same number.
