I have in mind the Container base image, Fedora CoreOS and ELN, IMO these artefact depends more on the content (the set of packages included in them) rather then knowing which version of Fedora release they are based on.

I think you're missing the point. When ELN was approved, the intent
was to build Rawhide in a RHEL-ish configuration continuously.
I agree that I missed that point because honestly it does not interest me. What I am seeing is that we have a group of people that are interested in experimenting and doing things differently in Fedora (The ELN SIG) and so far every time their trials are met with a lot of push back. I personally don't care if ELN is not what was communicated originally as long as it brings value to the people working on it, and it does not make other people live worse.
There is so much energy spent pointing fingers at each other, it is really demoralizing :(, Personally If I was in the ELN SIG I would feel unwelcome and unwanted in Fedora, and would really consider just quitting trying to do anything new in this community.
This
particular plan defeats what ELN was communicated as because now
there's a major deviation where people can't really participate and
it's not much benefit for everyone else. Moreover, GCC 11 *will* land
in Rawhide, so why not just push it there now?
A Change proposal for
GCC 11 still makes sense because it's *for* Fedora in the end too.
