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?
