fuse was only in EPEL by mistake if it ever was. ;) 

Until 5.4, there was no fuse support in the RHEL kernel, so fuse was

I think CentOS had fuse in their centosplus repo (along with a kernel
that had fuse modules). Perhaps try there?

Now that we are using koji, it should keep all builds we ever do, but
of course we only were able to import all the ones we had from plague
at the time we switched.
