As time passes, my curiosity has grown concerning the realignment of Redhat, Fedora, and CentOS.
The article in Fedora Magazine didn't seem very definitive; especially after RHEL 9. The article commentary seemed upbeat and good. So I'm guessing all long time participants who are very knowledgeable understand more details.
Does anyone know if there is anything available or coming that will help us who aren't so knowledgeable understand?
Have a Great Day!

That seems good. But I'm not sure this is the right mailing list for it, unless you specifically mean in the context of testing and QA.

I wrote the article, and I think I put most of what I know at a high level into it. I can provide more if you have specific questions.

I assume you also saw https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSStream? If not, does that help? If you did and it didn't help, what is missing?

FWIW, my take on CentOS Stream as regards Fedora QA is that, at least in the short to medium term, it won't really have any direct impact at all. Things like Modularity, Rawhide multi-package gating and the introduction of IoT and CoreOS as official editions are going to be rather more significant to us. Stream is probably a lot more significant to you if you're interested in the development of *RHEL*.
In strict practical terms, Stream is most obviously a change in how development of RHEL happens *downstream of Fedora*, after a RHEL major version has branched from Fedora. Since the change is downstream of Fedora it's not massively significant to us.

No I had not seen that, it clarifies some things. Thank you.
Though I've not been involved with CentOS, I always thought it was more than just a rebranding of RHEL. I thought the CentOS folks were making changes and updates that were available to RHEL. That seemed good to have Fedora folks working on new things going down stream to RHEL and the CentOS folks feeding improvements back up stream to RHEL. From what I read the CentOS roll seems to have been very different.
Is the new roll of CentOS to take the Fedora releases and send them down stream to RHEL as a few selected packages at a time? In such a case I guess Fedora isn't effected at all. Unless of course I missed something, or the realignment is still being designed.
Thanks and Have a Great Day!
