The software we ship in Fedora (and that includes EPEL) should work out of the box. If you cannot provide DNF (with the plugins) in EPEL, then defaulting to yum is the only option. 2. The mock previously in EPEL actually worked for Rawhide (using yum there), so you have taken existing user setups that worked and broken them, for no practical benefit whatsoever (because all they can do to make it work is to make exactly the settings change you refuse to make by default, and because mock will just work with yum). You made a decision that was really not yours to make (because using DNF is simply not possible on EL) and are forcing it on all EPEL users for, as you admit, purely political reasons.
