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?

Hi,
I am in agreement here. EPEL has always used a community distro and I would much prefer it be so and AlmaLinux is the perfect choice for replacing CentOS here. I currently use AlmaLinux for my EPEL builds and believe it would raise fewer issues than a move to using RHEL.
