I'll see if I can
get your change in.
How does this sound?
Subject:
Notice: <package> will be automatically retired from EPEL <major> when
RHEL <major>.<minor> is released
Comment:
This issue is purely informational, you do not need to take any action.
Thank you for your work maintaining <package> in EPEL <major>. Red Hat
considers this package important enough to promote it to official RHEL. It
will be part of RHEL <major>.<minor>. Please do not update <package>
in
EPEL <major> so the RHEL version can have a higher version and release.
When RHEL <major>.<minor> is released, EPEL automation will remove
<package> from EPEL <major> and close this bug.
