I have to admit the RHEL change is strange but not as bad as it sounds. Nice overview at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XM6BNUHKI3EKTDEXAAVE3JBPCG3BPUJC/ (thanks @jwildeboer)

They limit the access to source packages for which there aren't any reason to use them - at all. Why would they do this though? no clue

TL;DR as I understand it: CentOS (Stream) uses the same git source trees as RHEL (instead of extracting the SRPMs as they had to do before). Those SRPMs are now no longer available from RHEL, but the CentOS ones are, which should (in theory) be the exact same. Also they get released a few weeks earlier

This does *nothing* for those who need stable-branch distros, for example, in #HPC settings. Or do you want to rebuild all the software in your stack any time an upstream unstable-branch dependency changes?

@AlanSill The "unstable branch dependencies" are what Fedora Rawhide is for. CentOS Stream uses the same packages as RHEL. From the mailing list: "RHEL engineers build CentOS package in public Stream Koji
_and_ RHEL package internally from the same git commit."
