The thing i can't figure out yet is how RH plans to release security patches. Historically they released updated rpms but always said "you have to update everything to get a known stable result", so you always had to update everything. That's kinda what a Stream rolling release is. Now if they just 'tagged' their set'o'rpms ala "Centos-2020-1215" for today, folks might be able to install a defined not-moving set of rpms. But I doubt that'll happen. At $work we recently were mandated to switch to Oracle Linux, but the guesses among the admins is that it was the cost of RHEL entitlements that caused that, not anything related to CentOS or not. FWIW, I basically can't tell the difference between OL-7.9 and RHEL (or CentOS) as an admin or user. That said, who knows if Oracle will similarly switch Oracle Linux over to a rolling release or not.
