We touched this topic several times before in our team. Perhaps we should move on and do it... it would simplify a development (the yum/dnf hacks, legacy systemd-nspawn hacks, podman requirement for building Fedora, etc.).
I created an issue [1], can you please vote there if you are concerned? If you have a good argument for keeping the support, please write here or there (or both).

Thank you, Pavel

First off, what does this mean:
1. you can't build EL7 packages anymore with mock? AKA we would need to stop building EPEL7 2. you can't use "mock" on systems after the XYZ version?
Going from the graphs of growth, most of EL growth has been in EL7 since last year. That said.. I expect that if there is a version which is 'known' to be the last working version of mock then people needing it can 'keep' that version on those systems as long as they need.
Thank you, Pavel

No. E.g. Copr builders are on the latest Mock, on Fedora 34, and they build EL7 just fine.
- you can't use "mock" on systems after the XYZ version?
Yes, Mock version XYZ will not be available on EL7.
Going from the graphs of growth, most of EL growth has been in EL7 since last year. That said.. I expect that if there is a version which is 'known' to be the last working version of mock then people needing it can 'keep' that version on those systems as long as they need.
Exactly. Pavel
