Quick update on this, we are working hard on trying to get cherrypy
fully available, and we made some progress yesterday. Being able to

concentrate on EPEL8 (CentOS8) is going

We will follow Sage's suggestion of getting the packages into a
self-hosted repo so that we don't have to wait (weeks!) for packages
to become available officially.
