Thanks, the new page is much better. Esp. this new summary is
massively better.
Some specific things which are still unclear:

Does "update" in this context mean the automatic bodhi update used for
gating? What does "submitted" mean — the time when the update is
requested, on when the update is pushed to rawhide, or ... ?

Continuing with the previous question, is the "gating test" for the
original rawhide update?

Does this mean that some new person will join releng?

Hmm, so those packages will be pulled directly from koji? Is the
additional load acceptable?

OK, and what about the case where it is enabled, and then during the
way it turns out to be too much hassle? Is there some sunset procedure
planned?

Does "not in scope" mean that the question is not answered, or does
it mean that ELN is not relevant to the question?
The latter seems a bit impossible. ELN is all about making rawhide
packages more like the packages in RHEL, and this naturally means
adding and removing features or changing dependencies or configuration
falls into the scope of ELN. I.e. if I'm a RHEL maintainer, opening
a PR against Fedora dist-git with a bunch of '%if %{eln}' conditionals
or not seems the most straightforward way to push towards having a
feature in RHEL...
