If that's the intent, then it's not implemented correctly. For example,
there are well over 100 perl modules in CRB 9. They may only be used
_by Red Hat_ in building, but they are not exclusively build-time
packages by a long shot.
I know. I'm actually looking at squaring this in one way or another, but whatever that results in doesn't change that content in CRB will have different considerations to take into account than other repos. The same has always been true of RHEL 7 Optional as well, so it's not a new dynamic.
I also know most of those considerations don't matter to users or EPEL packagers, but I'm trying to avoid surprise in the long run.
