You were asking for a branch to overcome the issue with building a
package in ELN. And we have a suggestion for the alternative solution
which wouldn't require maintaining a separate eln branch forever.
For gcc we are using a temporary branch for the development of a new
feature in Fedora.
I would have named it "gcc11" branch rather than "eln", but it is a
bikeshedding exercise.
This is not about naming / bikeshedding. Whatever you call it, this is a "branch
used exclusively to build in ELN". Vít wanted this, I wanted this and many other
Fedora/RHEL packagers wanted this. Yet you argued so passionately against it.
For example you said:
I think that not having eln-branch is very important part of the
concept as we don't want to fork Fedora.

But there were countless other arguments against having such branches. Have the
situation changed? Can other packages have eln branches as well?
