Along those lines, if someone's adjusting text in there, I'd tend to think
"rolling release" indicates that one could go from RHEL 8 to 9 without a
reinstall, but unless something's changed, major version moves will require
a reinstall, just like standard CentOS.

I'd love to learn that my understanding is outdated!

These are both good pieces of feedback, we're considering some of the wording here. Keep in mind that CentOS Stream is still ramping up (even though we've come a long way already).

We want to communicate a few things like:
- CentOS Stream is made up of content intended for the next minor release of RHEL
- It is (or will be) a way to accept code contributions and dialog directly with RHEL maintainers
- There is one "Live" Stream open for such contribution at a time. Currently this is the CentOS Stream that's previewing RHEL 8. You'll likely need to perform a reinstall to jump from a CentOS Stream that previews RHEL 8 content to a CentOS Stream that previews later releases
