The discussion was about people being able or unable to obtain the
LibreOffice packages in some parts of the world. Since EPEL is widely
mirrored, and mirrors (especially non-US ones) tend to not enforce US export
control, people should be able to get the EPEL packages, along with some
RHEL rebuild on which to install them, basically everywhere on the world.
Whether the packaging work is done in EPEL or specifically in one of the
rebuilds does not really matter for that purpose.
And I do not really see a good reason why a rebuild should be doing that
packaging on their own in their own repositories when it can be done within
the EPEL infrastructure that benefits everyone. It is the same as for KDE
Plasma&Gear really. What the rebuilds can do though is, e.g., to include the
LibreOffice EPEL packages on their live images, as they are already doing
with the KDE EPEL packages.
