I cannot help myself but I consider this very unpleasant for EPEL packagers.
Getting and configuring the subscription was always so unfriendly for me that I've been using EPEL mocks even for my RHEL work. This basically means using EPEL mocks will once again be as complicated as using RHEL.
However, enough of my personal views. Since we have not used RHEL for copr/mock EPEL buidlroots until now, but we used a downstream freely-available RHEL-copy (CentOS Linux), could we not continue doing so by using e.g. AlmaLinux?

I'm not aware of a RHEL clone that offers all the architectures that EPEL does. As far as I can tell, the three most popular (Alma, Rocky, Oracle) only offer x86_64 and aarch64 but are missing ppc64le and s390x. That said CentOS Linux 8 doesn't offer s390x either, so we already have this problem, but switch the EPEL mock chroot to one of those clones would make the situation worse by also dropping ppc64le.
I've been informed that AlmaLinux is working on ppc64le support, and it's supposed to be released "soon". Perhaps Jack can provide an update here?
