I have no issues with OpenSUSE .. but how is OpenSUSE any better than
CentOS Stream?

It is not like we are rolling rawhide packages into CentOS Stream.  They
are updating already created Enterprise Packages in current RHEL with
Bug Fixes and Security Fixes and a small number of rebases (Enhamcments
Fixes).  But the enhancements are not from Rawhide, they are rebases
very close to the current releases.

Again .. absolutely nothing wrong with using OpenSUSE (or Ubuntu or
Debian, etc).  I just do not see the advantage.

I mean, I get it, some people are very upset with the new way CentOS is
being done.  And obviously people get to think what they think.  But
when this was announced, it was also announced that RHEL was going to be
opened up early in Q1 of 2021 (which has happened and is still happening).
