This was done to help kickstart things, but it had the issue that packages that RHEL is not going to ship to customers were available also. About 2-3 weeks ago, the EPEL steering committee decided to move the buildroot to the properly shipped chain of packages in CentOS Stream versus the buildroot. This removed a bunch of packages that were 'available' but not going to be shipped. These packages will need to be made into epel-only packages or some other solution. I am fuzzy on this myself as I am from a different philosophy school of building and shipping packages.
