While I'm not sure how we'll get there, it seems like the

So, I want to address this part a bit. In MANY cases, it's not a
third-party driver that ELrepo packages; it's an in-kernel driver that
Red Hat has decided to disable. Such as the megaraid_sas driver I need
for my servers.
Ah yes, that's a great call-out. I'm not sure what the plan is there (or
if there is one), but to me it seems like the sort of thing a SIG would
build.
Well, yes, about 10 years too late for those discussions I'm afraid ;-)
And besides, why on earth would Red Hat remove support for older
hardware that you (understandably) no longer want to commit resources to
maintaining, only to turn round and commit resources to maintaining them
in a SIG? That's why you guys reached out to us (elrepo) in the first place.
