Hi all
I just had a glance at the various repos installed by centos-release-scl on CentOS 7 and a large number of the packages available in the CentOS version of this repo are both old and out of date and more importantly, EOL. They should be removed from our repos ASAP.
I know we had/have a policy of cleaning these repos up at point release times but it's quite apparent that we have missed all of these for a number of point releases from 7.3 onwards. Thus I propose we make an exception for these and remove them anyway, regardless of point release time or not. A lot of them should have been gone for 3 years already.
The following are all dead as per https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhscl - some of them deader than others.

Thanks a lot for the list Trevor,
Now I'd like to have official comment from the SCLo SIG about a clean-up and sending announce about this too.
