Based on the office hour earlier this week, I spent some time performing scans of the PowerTools repo to see what packages from BaseOS, AppStream, and EPEL rely on it.
The results of these scans can be found in a repo here: https://gitlab.com/omenos/crb-depends
I have filed the issue proposing a separate subpackage for CRB/Powertools, that virtually provide 'repo(CRB)' so that `epel-release` can recommend it; this way, distributions such as CentOS Stream or Alma can have this repo automatically enabled when installing epel-release, while RHEL customers will have an unchanged experience so there is no risk of giving the appearance that CRB is supported:

Looking forward to discussing this, or other potential solutions, in this thread.
Best regards,
