Yes, the idea I had in mind was that each package that currenty has an "epel8" branch would also get an "epeln" branch that would be built against ELN. Then when ELN branches into CentOS Stream, the epeln branches could be used as the starting point for the corresponding EPEL release. > The main problem with this is that "all EPEL packages" is not a > defined > set like ELN is.

Yeah, that's a good point. To be clear, I was not proposing to do this for all Fedora packages, just for the ones that were already present in the current EPEL.
