I *think* this is the thinking of dealing with the
legacy of "epel-next" (which was, shall we say,
somewhat problematic), which, while most times,
one does not need/want to upgrade a package
(as EL itself is *mostly" stable), there are times
when you want/need to deal with upgrading an
epel package if/only-if the base EL is updated
(from 10.0 to 10.1, for example), so there may
(eventually) be different minor dist targets in
various build instances and repos (epel10_1,
epel10_2, etc. as additional repos). I do not
recall that this has been fully fleshed out, or
if so, I do not recall it having been fully shared
(either of which may simply mean I am not
paying attention in the right places).
A bit more information on some of the thinking
about the epel10.0 dist. Comments involving
3rd party repository implications may be useful
to the participants there.
