I've been checking the packages that won't install on EPEL [1] and found out 
that drbd-pacemaker cant get installed
because of a missing dependency (pacemaker). While researching why, I saw that 
pacemaker exists on EPEL7 because it's 
provided by the HighAvailability repo, but by policy [2] that repo is not a 
base for EPEL8 nor EPEL9.

When I asked on how to handle this cases on the steering meeting, some proposed 
ideas were:

* Rebuild the dependencies as -epel
* Retire the packages 
* Bringing back HA & RS repo

The only other package that i've found also has this problem is resalloc-aws 
that depends on awscli.

Is there a policy on this cases? Are EPEL packages allowed to require packages 
outside of the policy approved?
I would like more feedback on how to proceed so we can file bugs for this 
packages correctly.
