Generally this would mean a lot of breakages, but we've changed/downgraded some errors to warnings - see the description in the MR or text inside the SPEC file for more information. We've used the Mass Prebuild[2] tool to identify the possible breakages in RHEL and fix them in advance[3-5]. We will merge the MR and do the builds on Monday, December 5.

Thank you so much for doing this! It's been increasingly painful to
work with the older Meson, so this is greatly appreciated for those
doing development on CentOS/RHEL 9.

Also, I really appreciate that you let us all know ahead of time. It
will save me time when I'm working on stuff for CentOS/RHEL 9 stuff
going forward :)
