CentOS docs - Aug 2020 - Misleading information on main page about Centos Stream

Not sure if this is a Docs issue or others...

I came across this page:

https://www.centos.org/centos-stream/
> CentOS Steam
> 
> Rolling-release distro that tracks just ahead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(RHEL) development, positioned as a midstream between Fedora Linux and RHEL. For
anyone interested in participating and collaborating in the RHEL ecosystem,
CentOS Stream is your reliable platform for innovation.
This is pretty misleading. Isn?t Stream just a collection of repos that offer
pre-release packages for the next RHEL point release?  It?s not a midstream
between Fedora and RHEL.

Along those lines, if someone's adjusting text in there, I'd tend to
think
"rolling release" indicates that one could go from RHEL 8 to 9 without
a
reinstall, but unless something's changed, major version moves will require
a reinstall, just like standard CentOS.

I'd love to learn that my understanding is outdated!

These are both good pieces of feedback, we're considering some of the
wording here. Keep in mind that CentOS Stream is still ramping up (even though
we've come a long way already).

We want to communicate a few things like:
- CentOS Stream is made up of content intended for the next minor release of
RHEL
- It is (or will be) a way to accept code contributions and dialog directly with
RHEL maintainers
- There is one "Live" Stream open for such contribution at a time.
Currently this is the CentOS Stream that's previewing RHEL 8. You'll
likely need to perform a reinstall to jump from a CentOS Stream that previews
RHEL 8 content to a CentOS Stream that previews later releases
