Sure .. they only time things will match 100% is at point release time.
 All the packages in 8.4 will have at some point been in stream when
rhel 8.4 is released.

Packages in between point releases will not necessarily be in stream ..
but their equivalent will be.  It will have the CVE and/or bugfix .. it
will not likely be the exact same envr, but the one that will be in the
new point release.
