Yeah, same impressions here. EPEL really is a key package repository for
RHEL - and I always wondered why they did not invest into maintaining
(and extending) this excellent repo.
How about this reason. Paid customers when have issue place support
call, and their issue MUST be resolved promptly, it is part of contract
with RedHat. To maintain as vast number of stuff as EPEL contains will
require RedHat to charge customers proportionally higher, whereas these
have only slim base of paid customers who use them.
Just a guess.
Whatever RedHat was doing [in the past] they knew how to do the business
(until recently when they were bough out as a result of poor decisions -
or maybe because they were doing business really well).

I think RH now is extremely focused on cloud and SaaS platform, which
leave us "normal" sysadmin in an uncomfortable situation...
