I'm not sure to what extent CentOS Stream will differ from RHEL in
reality, but generally yes to both, although I'll probably wait a
while to see if they have momentum.  It shouldn't be too hard,
basically searching down all existing references to CentOS and
Scientific Linux in the code and adding the new distro(s) alongside.
I don't expect any special support beyond that should be needed.
