Will the repositories remain available after the shutdown, or is the
plan to sunset those too?
Good question.
At the very least they will be in the archive.
Maybe we can do it in stages. Remove the build targets from koji, and the dnf config files from epel-release. Then after a set amount of time, like 3 or 6 months remove the repos.
Long term, the non-archived repo needs to go away. Leaving it there implies that it is supported in some way and is getting updates.
What are other's thoughts about if/when to remove the epel8-playground repo?
