The problem is that Stream has a rolling kernel with no stable kABI, released whenever someone in RH feels like releasing a new test upon users.
The volunteers from ElRepo do not have the resources to support that and RH, so far, does not give a s**t on the features not supported directly by _their_ kernel.  Which , incidentally, means exactly what ElRepo ships.
