So, question: when say RHEL8.1beta comes out. Is the Centos 8 stream
updating that? (ie, has all beta changes and continues from there?).
I think we need to be very careful with beta's. If we can get security
updates via centos 8 stream then great, but if not, that makes a known
pool of insecure software. :(
As I understand it, CentOS Stream will get security updates (because no one
wants a big pool of insecure software, and it's not good for users), but
that the significant, expensive work that the Red Hat security team and Red
Hat developers do to develop fixes should be available to paying customers
first. That seems reasonable to me. Also, of course, many such fixes have
embargo dates and _can't_ be made public early. The mechanisms for doing
this aren't actually built yet.
