From the proposal:
%if 0%{?fedora} < 32 && 0%{?rhel} <= 8
The fix will be done via a pull request that states a time limit. We
want the regular maintainers to see / comment / commit, but we also
don't want things to stall for months and get forgotten about.

What kind of pull request is that? It's like saying either merge or ...
In other words, great way to lose community members.
