The same could be said for a Scientific-Linux-EPEL.
Would it be clearer to have an EPEL7.6 and an EPEL7.7 ?
This was the purpose of the various branching proposals. The main issue there are not enough time/manpower resources to make any of the proposals work as it needs build system changes, a full time release manager and packagers who want to deal with it. In the end though this is a volunteer project done on the side by various people in the Fedora community. If we were to move this elsewhere, it would still be a volunteer activity.
I wish I had a better answer but after seeing us break the world every RHEL-X.Y release.. I don't.
