The future of the CentOS Project is CentOS Stream, and over the next year we’ll be shifting focus from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream, which tracks just ahead of a current RHEL release. CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end at the end of 2021. CentOS Stream continues after that date, serving as the upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
I suppose I understand the negative feedback -- CentOS 8.x will no longer be a rebuild of RHEL 8.x but will instead be some version of RHEL 8.(x + 1) -- but I'm much more interested in empirical results than in suppositions. I've taken a couple test VMs and set them to CentOS 8 Stream and will keep an eye on them. They will either prove stable or not, but (observation > guessing) in my book.
If history is any guide, they will prove very stable. If not, then I'll pour one out for CentOS and look elsewhere.
