    It’s not a rolling distro in the same sense of Arch etc., it has major versions the same as RHEL, the “rolling” part is only pertaining to what will appear in the next minor version of RHEL. So it can still be regarded and used as a feature-stable LTS distro, very similar to RHEL itself.

      The rolling part is that there is a nightly build released and no established ‘stable’ version. FTFY

      Pretty disingenuous to say that it’s ok because there’s major versions when both RHEL and Centos (historic) had fairly significant changes on minor versions and a major release might last 3-5 years before a newer version became/becomes available.

        But you’re comparing it to Debian Sid and Arch. Packages in Stream are mature, tested and ready to go in to RHEL, and updates are very conservative. Can you honestly not tell the difference between that and Arch?
