I'm not sure how it will go. Fedora now has a very good upgrade tool that
has worked for me through a few versions.  So, hopefully, RH, and CentOS
will have one too, who knows, maybe in time to migrate to Stream-9.

Fedora's package set is quite "stable". You can expect that a
package is
in the next release. This is not so valid for EL. Deprecated packages
(ImageMagick in EL7 but not in EL8) make such upgrade path difficult ...
