is it still OK to set up EPEL as a repo?
Yes. CentOS Stream is expected to be backward-compatible with RHEL, for the same reason that each RHEL point release is backward-compatible with previous point releases.
Except in cases where packages in a RHEL point release are being rebased. This is something which is happening with a lot more gusto than in any previous releases so there may be points where say a QT or a gnomelib provides in Stream is ahead of EPEL
So how would one use this shiny bit of information? Is there a way to discover if an EPEL application is going to clobber your system before you install it?
