That was my take on it. But CentOS Stream didn't get a fix in time for last major CVE before RHEL/Oracle or ubuntu/debian for that matter. That killed it for me.
Ironically, faster fixes were one of the reported reasons for moving CentOS upstream, turns out that was only for metabook. Alma is quickly becoming the new self-hosting distro for me and I feel by now they're better than before
Even if you are Meta. The only trick we use is something anyone can do - hotfix it in Hyperscale, or download the Stream fix as soon as a signed build is available without waiting for it to be fully released
