Regarding the recent announcement of CentOS 8 flipping to CentOS Stream - What will be the configs for building EPEL 8?
I mean mock configs? And I ask as Mock maintainer - because I have no idea.

Are we going to build EPEL 8 against CentOS stream? What will happen when CentOS stream flip to RHEL 9 based content

Honestly I don't know how to deal with regular EPEL-8 development after this. EPEL is going to add an epel-next which they would ask for additional targets in mock for. However that does not fix building against the regular EPEL-8 target. I expect it will depend on what programs come up for development in the coming year and if the new -devel RHEL UBI images can be used for mock.
