If an org has that kind of risk, shouldn't they be paying for their OS?
CentOS Stream is just a hair’s breadth from as stable as CentOS ever was… anyone who wants to quibble with the size of the hair should just buy RHEL.
CentOS Stream's last podman major version update broke 70% of my company's infrastructure, affecting 120+ employees and our customers. It was a bug that couldn't be fixed without reverting the version, but we had to revert the whole update because all kinds of dependencies also got updated. We switched to Rocky the next day, on all VMs, and haven't had trouble since. We never had trouble with the original Centos (7 and 8).
70% of your company’s infrastructure and the productivity of 120+ people relied on a server OS without so much as a support contract? Seems risky, indeed.
You're going to have this problem with the next EL point release anyway, because the only thing CentOS Stream does is give it to you earlier...
