It is kind of irony, that the ELN branch idea is still rejected.
Therefore there will be PRs coming from Stephen's and Alexandra's (or
anybody else in ELN SIG) forks of packages, containing changes needed to
build some packages in ELN, which nobody is going to merge. In the
meantime, the ELN builds will keep failing.
I wonder why there can't be PR's coming from ELN branch. That would
1) Allow the ELN builds to pass.
2) Audit the work to do.
3) Give it some structure and therefore discoverability.
Just to be clear, I don't plan to accept any PR adding any "if rhel" and
similar into package I currently maintain in Fedora, sorry. Being
maintainer in Fedora and RHEL, I could have done it any time and I did
not. In every package I adopted/inherited during the years, I have
removed such conditionals, because they are PITA. While the proposal
helps with the maintenance of such conditionals, it would still harm
freedom of Fedora to innovate. I understand what is the cost and it is
not worth of it.

There has been a lot of (really good!) discussion on the original
proposal thread, but as it has grown too large to follow anymore, I'm
restarting it. I have made numerous changes to the Change Proposal
page to improve the scope of the proposal as well as clarify some of
the questions that have come up repeatedly in the original thread.
Please see the newly-updated
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ELN_Buildroot_and_Compose
for more details[1].
== Summary ==
ELN is a new buildroot and compose process for Fedora that will take
Fedora Rawhide dist-git sources and emulate a Red Hat Enterprise Linux
compose. Feedback from this build, compose and integration testing
will be provided to Fedora packagers so that they can see the
potential impact of their changes on RHEL development.
