Hey!

Clear—I can fix a server running RHEL, but the technical debt remains,
which is something that still needs to be done, and I'm not an expert at
that :-)

Nucleo -> https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nucleo/vpp-git/

Regular updates of all packages—which currently work perfectly (for now) on
my RHEL 9 (BGP router) production systems. I've built them myself before,
but I figured if someone is already doing it, I'm more than happy to reuse
it.
