[$] AlmaLinux considers EPEL 10 rebuild for older hardware

Description:
The AlmaLinux project has published a request for comments (RFC) on
rebuilding Fedora's Extra Packages for
Enterprise Linux (EPEL), which provides additional software for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its derivatives, to support older
x86_64 hardware that is not supported by EPEL10. While this may
sound simple on the surface, the proposed rebuild carries a few
potential risks that the AlmaLinux and EPEL contributors would like to
avoid. The AlmaLinux
Engineering Steering Committee (ALESCo) is currently considering
feedback and will vote on the RFC in March.
