I'm fine with retiring it.

But on the alternatives , you can have modules (or application
streams) for both epel and fedora.
It would be a good way forward. so it won't enforce nextcloud version
with a given fedora and or epel and would allow to update nextcloud at
users own pace.

But as epel7 is concerned, I'm good for retirement.
