I mirrored the source rpms down and did the following for 8 and 9-stream.

$ for i in AppStream BaseOS PowerTools; do echo $i; find ./$i -type f -name "*src.rpm" | xargs rpm --nosignature --qf='%{NAME}\n' -qp > /tmp/a-$i; sort -o /tmp/a-$i -u /tmp/a-$i; done

$ sort -o /tmp/a -u /tmp/a-* ; sort -o /tmp/b -u /tmp/b-*

$ wc -l /tmp/a* /tmp/b*
  2652 /tmp/a
  1740 /tmp/a-AppStream
   536 /tmp/a-BaseOS
   503 /tmp/a-PowerTools
  2273 /tmp/b
  1620 /tmp/b-AppStream
   399 /tmp/b-BaseOS
   295 /tmp/b-CRB

$ comm -1 -2 /tmp/a /tmp/b | wc -l
2090
$ comm -1 -3 /tmp/a /tmp/b | wc -l
183
$ comm -2 -3 /tmp/a /tmp/b | wc -l
562

```

So 183 packages were added to 9 that weren't in 8 and 562 packages were 'removed'. Some of those are obsolete packages like

python2, python36,python38, gcc-toolset-9, gcc-toolset-10, autoconf213. Others are module things which aren't shipped already.

The following statement was wrong. Some subset of that 500 may be built and could go into CRB, but that would require mirroring the CentOS Stream koji which I didn't do.

 

That leaves about 500 source packages which aren't even built internally so aren't going into CRB.

I was gathering each of the names of the binary and source packages directly from the repos for my "Will It Build", so I did a few tweaks and  got these numbers.  I feel they are quite accurate.

CentOS Stream 8:
AppStream: 4553
BaseOS: 1715
CRB: 1614
Total Source RPMS: 2260

CentOS Stream 9:
AppStream: 5225
BaseOS: 1130
CRB: 1370
Total Source RPMS: 2252

So, there is a drop of 250 packages in CRB from RHEL8 to RHEL9.  But beyond that, things are quite close.
