RHELN (currently RHEL9) is supposed to look like rawhide up to
whatever the cutover point is. So, up until that point, you shouldn't
be putting RHEL conditionals in, unless you do so for EPEL packages.
There are exceptions to this, such as the kernel, glibc, firefox, and
a handful of others. But those are the exceptions.
After the cutover date, then again, RHELN (in the next case it will
be RHEL10) should be looking like whatever is in rawhide,
That would basically mean that ELN is a rh-only thing, since the result
does not get exposed to others before cutover. Do I understand things
correctly?
If that is true, why would any non-rh Fedora packager care about the
complexity that comes with ELN?
