First off, what does this mean:

1. you can't build EL7 packages anymore with mock? AKA we would need
to stop building EPEL7
2. you can't use "mock" on systems after the XYZ version?

Going from the graphs of growth, most of EL growth has been in EL7
since last year. That said.. I expect that if there is a version which
is 'known' to be the last working version of mock then people needing
it can 'keep' that version on those systems as long as they need.

time to reboot.
