Projects which are aimed at the EL-7 -> EL-8 space will get a lot of pushback from users when things get updated (this is the reason openstack and various other tools have had to been pulled from EPEL in the past..)
That's partly because there are a *lot* of components in EPEL 6 than are present in EPEL 7. I ran headlong into this trying to build up RT version 4, the perl dependencies include something like 20 perl module SRPM's that are not in EPEL 7 or in CentOS 7. Many of them are available in EPEL 6.
Do you know if there is some showstopper reason for this or is is just that it takes a long time to get done? I just noticed the other day that backuppc isn't there either.
