This is the first I have heard about Centos Stream. I found an announcement dated 8 December 2020 saying that CentOS Project is shifting focus to CentOS Stream, and a LOT of comments and confusion.
The main thing is that Stream apparently tracks Ahead of a current RHEL release.
This may be a concern because I and many others use CentOS as a stable 'tried and tested' platform not a 'cutting edge' platform.

Of course, I may be just as confused as everyone else seems to be about what all this actually means.

Getting a bit off topic here, so apologies if I'm upsetting anyone.

Regards,
Dave Bolt

On a side note, shouldn't you be upgrading to CentOS Stream instead of
CentOS 8?
