It's not a development kernel but it is not one that CentOS supply. That's a mainline linux kernel - as released by Linus - rebuilt by ELRepo for CentOS/RHEL. It's newer and more likely to have new bugs but it will support more hardware. The drawback is that it doesn't have the stable KABI that the CentOS/RHEL kernels have and also that it gets a new version about twice a week so you will be continually updating to stay current.

The CentOS/RHEL kernel is 4.18.0-305.something on CentOS Linux 8 and 4.18.0-336 or something for Stream (which also effectively has no stable KABI either).
If you were me, would you stay with the 5.x or try to get back to the Stream?

If Stream, is there a procedure for going from the 5.x back into the 4.18 Stream?
