I would argue that newcomers to RHEL/CentOS are very likely to have
heard of EPEL from numerous guides on the Internet, but are unlikely to
have heard of CR (or even know what CR stands for).

Also, if a newcomer happens to hear about CR and read the CR page [0],
it doesn't exactly fill them with confidence (though I've never actually
seen breakage on CR, this is what is advertised):

Also, when installing nginx, you get this error message:

It's not obvious (to the newcomer) from this error message that the
solution is to enable CR repository.

Kind regards,
