Yesssss, that's a problem. In this case, though, it really *is* directly
related.

So, the distinction is: EPEL is in Fedora because it's direct community
ownership and maintenance. CentOS Stream is explicitly Red Hat controlled
with a "patches appreciated!" approach. It's valuable to have both, but I
also like the clarity of the separation.

This all leads me to think that actually what we want is not "EPEL Stream"
but "EPEL for Stream". (epel-for-stream? epel-4-stream? epel4s? no not that
last one for sure.)
