Hey everyone,

Just a quick mail to let folks know that from October 1st, the CPE team will be working towards supporting the EPEL community. We just posted a quick comm blog on it [1] and wanted to raise wider awareness on the devel list. More good things to follow in the coming weeks and I will try and cross post here, but please consider following the EPEL mailing list [2] where we will be posting more regular updates.

Cool. EPEL has long been a necessary part of RHEL environments, and for many of us RHEL would not be welcome in our production environments without it.  I especially include components like ansible, which may be available from additional RHEL yum channels but are awkward, at best, to provide in CentOS and non-specifically-subscribed default RHEL systems. It's going to especially require attention with the 4.x release of ansible, which requires python 3.6 or later, and which originally required python 3.8 which was not available for RHEL 7 or CentOS 7. I thought I might have to set up pyenv, which I did *not* want to do!
