In the specific case of RHEL srpms, it makes life harder for EPEL
packagers because you can't look at the source easily when they are
problems between RHEL and EPEL packages. It matches well with RH's
standard of shipping libraries without headers etc - it is easier for them
and limits the scope of support contracts but makes upstream's life
harder.
EPEL packagers should have easy access to RHEL through the no-cost
subscription program.
Why should we keep contributing to EPEL? To be forced to use 16 free
RHEL instances maximum? What is the advantage for us volunteer contributors?
I mean, we did not do it for personal advantage, we did it to help us
each other within the Enterprise Linux distros community, but this Red
Hat move will kill the Enterprise Linux distros community, leaving only
with RHEL, which is mostly a paid subscription distribution, let's call
things with their proper name
