>It definitely is true, in our RHEL subscriptions we get patches that do not exist in CentOS.

Citation needed. Source: I work at Red Hat and made the policy that stuff needs to go to CentOS Stream first. The only exceptions should be embargoed or critical/important CVEs, those go to customers before CentOS Stream.

If you find any code, features, or bug sizes in RHEL that aren't in stream, it's a bug, let us know and we will fix it.

Well, you already mentioned it: the important updates that already have PoC in the wild that are somehow patched for RHEL but not for CentOS. The lag isn't always huge, but we definitely can't consider CentOS a RHEL bug-for-bug compatible rebuild anymore.

Maybe the issue wasn't highlighted as much in the past where the rebuild compatibility meant that packages could go out without also having the source (in CentOS).
