Redis-6 is currently shipped in EPEL9, so it seems like a more obvious 
step-forward wrt EPEL.

Unfortunately, it's still the best option we have.  Ideally, redis wouldn't 
have done this, but since redis is no longer license compatible, can we really 
continue to ship redis-7 in Fedora 40 if we can't patch and maintain it?  If 
KeyDB were to merge and release a v7 version against the latest BSD code, I 
agree that it would be a much better target for Fedora 40.  Unfortunately, 
we're in the awful position of having to choose between a breaking change for a 
small amount of users or shipping something that we can't patch or 
realistically maintain.  If we have some clue that a v7 merge/release is on the 
very near horizon for KeyDB, then maybe it makes sense to keep redis and 
obsolete it for KeyDB after GA, but it would be preferable, IMO, to have a 
clean break on Fedora 40 release if possible, which will also give us a better 
chance to document it so the small amount of impacted end-users wrt v7-specific 
things can prepare for it.
