and a month later... It's taking somewhat long.
I'll ask a question not just I must be thinking - obvious rather - is that wise to let one arch be a such a blocker for the whole lot?
It isn't blocking anylonger. You seem to have missed the various emails about EPEL-9 being built for the last several weeks.
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/9/ https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/testing/9/ https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/next/9/ https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/testing/next/9/
Also https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/epel-9-is-now-available/ on December 3rd.
If it is all functional and ready for consumption - why not include its package in default(s) repo (as it's been with all previous CentOSes) instead of adding more instructions & howtos. Then 'dnf repoinfo' should give out enough info for admin to know what is what.
That's a good question. I'm guessing it's because CS9 is a proper upstream to RHEL9, whereas even CS8 is actually still a rebuild, so CS9 can't ship anything RHEL9 won't ship.
Note how for all RHELs you always have to use DNF with a URL to the epel-release RPM:

Best,
