Discarding RHEL 7 and CentOS 7 for EPEL, and by implication Amazon Linux 2, will discourage people further from using RHEL based releases at all, I'd not consider it an encouragement to switch to RHEL 8. Commercial users are avoiding CentOS 8. Discarding EPEL 7 is salting the earth for existing users of RHEL 7 and CentOS 7.
????
No one is discarding RHEL/CentOS. Mock will stay there. No one is going to delete it.
RHEL/CentOS 7 will be still supported and will be maintained. Security and fatal changes will be backported.
We are just marking new moment in development and some features will land only into v3 which will not go to EPEL 7.
And you will be still able to build for EPEL 7. Even with from v3.
Mind the difference of supporting it as host platform (i.e. from where you run it) and target platform (for which OS you are building).
So what is the problem?
