SCL is for parallel installable packages that already exist in the system
(i.e. newer versions of gcc/Postgres/Python/etc). Some EPEL packages also
provide that sort of thing (like the old cmake28 packages), but I don't
believe that EPEL as a whole is aiming to do that more than just provide
packages that aren't available in EL.
