AlmaLinux mentioned this in their 2023 revue >[After the split, we] have been able to ship critical security and bug fixes sooner than any other enterprise linux distro. [...] In some cases, any distribution that is still relying on RHEL as their upstream is still waiting for these patches to be released. https://almalinux.org/blog/2023-12-14-2023-highlights/

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

Stream gets faster fixes in general, but yeah for embargoed security fixes it goes the other way around

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
