Right; in mirror traffic, EPEL is to Fedora Workstation as Workstation
is to Server. :)
EPEL packages *are* Fedora packages, though — moving the project to
CentOS isn't completely crazy, but would require a lot more integration
and cooperation between the projects.
That's something I'd like to see anyway. I think there are a lot of
opportunities for this with containers and modularity — if you can just
run Fedora containers on CentOS or RHEL *directly*, why bother
rebuilding them? For a lot of the software that's in EPEL, that's
completely sufficient. For other software, where users would like the
version to match more closely the long lifecycle, maybe there could be
a hand-off from Fedora version to CentOS version.
Don't know how modularity is related here. It's just about building distro. Containers, yeah, but please don't kill Fedora. I don't want to run container for each software I use. RHEL and CentOS people can struggle, but don't do this with Fedora users.
