Sorry, but those numbers are wrong for a comparison.
There are not 15,000 unique packages in AppStream, not even close.
What I believe you, or they, are counting is the total number of packages
released.
So, if the kernel has been released 15 times since Stream 8 started, then
it's counted as 15.
Because of that, it's natural for the numbers to be bigger, because Stream
8 has been out longer.
If you want the numbers, I can get them.
Last time I checked, RHEL9 was very close to the same number of packages
as RHEL8.
It was more, but very close to the same number.
I mirrored the source rpms down and did the following for 8 and 9-stream.
```
$ for i in AppStream BaseOS PowerTools; do echo $i; find ./$i -type f -name
"*src.rpm" | xargs rpm --nosignature --qf='%{NAME}\n' -qp >
/tmp/a-$i; sort
-o /tmp/a-$i -u /tmp/a-$i; done
$ sort -o /tmp/a -u /tmp/a-* ; sort -o /tmp/b -u /tmp/b-*
$ wc -l /tmp/a* /tmp/b*
2652 /tmp/a
1740 /tmp/a-AppStream
536 /tmp/a-BaseOS
503 /tmp/a-PowerTools
2273 /tmp/b
1620 /tmp/b-AppStream
399 /tmp/b-BaseOS
295 /tmp/b-CRB
$ comm -1 -2 /tmp/a /tmp/b | wc -l
2090
$ comm -1 -3 /tmp/a /tmp/b | wc -l
183
$ comm -2 -3 /tmp/a /tmp/b | wc -l
562
```
So 183 packages were added to 9 that weren't in 8 and 562 packages were
'removed'. Some of those are obsolete packages like
python2, python36,python38, gcc-toolset-9, gcc-toolset-10, autoconf213.
Others are module things which aren't shipped already. That leaves about
500 source packages which aren't even built internally so aren't going into
CRB.
