And this is something that CentOS Stream breaks and that makes it not an alternative anymore.

RHEL did ABI or kABI breaks only with minor releases. CentOS Stream can do them randomly, just like any other distribution.

Considering that CentOS Stream represents the between state of RHEL minor releases, it's not "randomly".

That said, the CentOS Kmods SIG generates reports on how the kABI churns in CentOS Stream[1] and RHEL[2].

Randomly as in any dnf update can bring the breakage that you might not know upfront.

With minor releases you would read release notes, check your modules and knew, whether you can update or not.
