I hope we don't backport such a big change to Quincy. That will have a
large impact on how we build in restricted environments with no
internet access.
We could get the missing packages into EPEL.

Hi Casey,
The original idea was to leave this to Reef alone, but given that the CentOS 9 Quincy
release is also blocked by missing Python packages, I think that it'd make sense to
backport it.
I'm coordinating with Pere (in CC) to expedite this. We may need help to troubleshoot
Shaman/rpmbuild issues. Who would be the best one to help with that?
Regarding your last question, I don't know who's the maintainer of those packages
in EPEL. There's this BZ (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2166620) requesting that
specific package, but that's only one out of the dozen of missing packages (plus
transitive dependencies)...
Kind Regards,
Ernesto
