Does it only mean releasing a new epel-release package with epel-modular
configuration file set to "enabled = 0", or does it also involve more magic
like editing that configuration with RPM scriptlets.

I ask because configuration files edited by a user are not subject of RPM
updates. rpm tool installs updated files under a new file name and keeps
the original intact, effectively unupdated.

Does EPEL have any communication channel to EPEL users besides this mailing
list? If it does, do you plan to announce this change there? Preferably ahead
of time.

I worry that users do not follow a list called epel-devel because they think
it's only for EPEL developers. As such this change will come to them as
a surprise.
