RedHat took control of it and turned it into what is now a RHEL beta-version
This gets repeated a lot, but it's complete nonsense. CentOS Stream packages get all of the testing and QA that RHEL packages did (and do).
CentOS Stream is not, in any way, a beta. The only outward evidence that it is, is that it gets packages earlier than RHEL because it doesn't need to wait for a minor release to introduce new features, the way that semantic versioning would require. But if getting packages first makes a distribution "beta", then RHEL was the beta for CentOS.
While CentOS Stream provides continuous delivery of new RHEL development, a RHEL beta release is a "point in time" of CentOS Stream that is then hardened and tested to make it ready for production previews.
CentOS is an alpha. It is the pre-beta for RHEL.
Were you born stupid, or do you put a lot of work into it?

That sounds silly, doesn't
