It's too early to do this now, but I think there's a compelling case
to be made for shifting EPEL from Fedora to Stream at some point. This
would be dependent on getting a solid contributor community
established for Stream, of course. Realistically, I'd say we're a few
years away from making that transition, but I think the Stream
community would be a more natural fit. If CentOS Stream had existed
when EPEL started, I don't think we'd have made EPEL a part of Fedora,
despite the good points Matthew makes below. (In other words, it's not
a foregone conclusion that EPEL should be a part of Stream, and there
are reasons not to do that, but there are also reasons to do that.
That's a problem for Future Us to solve.)
I'm a bit confused here... you seem to be conflating epel and this
epel-stream/epel-next. Do you mean both of them? or just the new one
would move over? We would need at least shared git (is that still
something that might happen someday?)
