I thought it was more of an "opt-in" situation, that packages that
had a EL -1 branch didn't automatically get an EL new branch?
I would definitely like the opportunity to do some major version
upgrades of some of the packages I maintain.
It was mostly opt-in as I recall it, but some packages got EPEL
branches for the first time as they were needed as dependencies. Anyone
packaging for EPEL-8 should of course be free to choose whichever
version of their package is best suited to it; I think f19 was the
latest at the time of the EL7 beta release when a lot of stuff got
built.
