- 

- When a new Enterprise Linux major version (example 7, 8, 9) is being

- tested and has been released as a open Beta version, EPEL will create a

- Beta EPEL collection version against that release. This branch will

- follow a process much like Fedora's rawhide repository. Packages built

- in this Beta EPEL will be signed and pushed out each day. There will be

- only one repository (no testing). Packages in this Beta collection could

- be removed, or updated in an incompatible manner if needed before the

- collection is released as stable. At some point after the Enterprise

- Linux version is released, EPEL will leave Beta status and move to a

- stable model for this collection.

  == Stable Releases

  

- Once a Enterprise Linux is released, and EPEL has left Beta and entered

- it's stable phase the follow applies:

- 

  * All updates MUST spend at least 1 week in the testing repository, or

  +3 karma from testers.

  

Starting in EPEL 9, we launch EPEL before RHEL by building against CentOS Stream initially. We no longer have a beta release of EPEL. Remove the outdated policy to avoid confusion.

Verified.
Thank you for seeing and fixing this documentation.
