I wonder whether we should file those before it is out, if at all possible?
Ideally, yes because it's an extreme pain to deal with them post-GA.
Red Hat's policies around this stuff is such that after 9.0, they can
only be introduced in 6 month intervals (that is, we have to wait for
9.1 for them to show up in EPEL9). We should *never* use the buildroot
repository for EPEL-Next because it massively complicates discovering
this stuff and getting it straightened out immediately. Unlike CentOS
SIGs that only build for CentOS Stream, EPEL needs to work on RHEL,
and Red Hat will *never* ship the buildroot repo for RHEL, because it
opens up the door for things to depend on that content, which is
highly problematic for them.
