This is the burden of a downstream distributor. You never know what the
upstream breaks.

One way EPEL wants to solve it is repackaging the complete package as
a Modularity module and then providing it to users as a non-default module
stream so that users who need it can explictly enable it and consume the
packages from EPEL instead from CentOS/RHEL.

It's there by a mistake. (A late Qt rebase broke it and nobody removed it from
the distribution.) It even cannot be installed.
