How does Rocky Linux continue to get timely updates from upstream?

Do they have to use shells or other subterfuge?

It looks like they’re not RHEL compatible any more:

That says they pull from CentOS Stream, which I think is upstream from RHEL.

According to this other article [0] they still aim for 1:1 compatibility with RHEL, and not Stream. I also don't see any mention of Stream in the Rocky 9 release notes.
