A quick look about this change impact on bodhi-server, as I understand
from the relevant module at
https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/blob/develop/bodhi-server/bodhi/server/metadata.py
:

As I understand, bodhi sets XZ compression on all repos but those with a
release prefix set to 'FEDORA-EPEL' (EPEL7, EPEL8 and EPEL9) where it
uses BZ2.
Do we want to continue using XZ or switch to the new ZSTD default?
Do we want to continue using BZ for EPEL9 or switch to ZSTD/XZ? (EPEL
Next, both 8 and 9, are already using XZ if I understand correctly)

I think this haven't got impact on bodhi-server.

I'm not sure if this has impact on bodhi-server. We're composing
repodata for EPEL7 and EPEL8 which still use yum, but I don't think
we're adding groups metadata?
