Currently the default days to stable for EPEL is 14 days. I believe when it was first put in it was set to that time because we wanted things more stable and better tested. But experience has found that if a package is going to get tested, it usually is in the first few days of when it was built. Thus 14 days seems to be 4 days of testing, and 10 days of sitting.
I am proposing that we change the "days to stable" for epel to 7 days, matching Fedora's "days to stable". People have asked that the epel-next "days to stable" be dropped down to 3 days, matching Fedora when it is in it's development phase. The reasoning is that epel-next is built off CentOS Stream, which only has 6 months at the most before it is rolled into the next RHEL release. If people could give any cases for, or against these, please respond here. The EPEL Steering Committee will have a vote at our next meeting (July 28). Troy
