Not sure it was already said. With the release of RHEL9, EPEL9 (repo) was in such a good state that the first steps with EL9 felt super pleasant (compared to the EL8 start). So, thank you all for the great work you all are doing. Cheers!

On behalf of the EPEL Steering Committee I want to say "You are welcome" Thanks are always appreciated.
I also wanted to point out that this was a group effort, a fairly large group effort. Carl George thought up the idea of how to have epel9 released with RHEL9. He, along with several others in Fedora / EPEL releng implemented the epel9 and epel9-next, and all the various things that needed to be implemented for this release to happen. And we had 230+ package maintainers get 2600+ packages into epel9 in time for the RHEL 9.0 release.
I know I was one of those helping, but I still want to second Leon's thanks to everyone who helped. It was a job well done.
