Step 1 - Approve plan via Steering Committee.
Step 1a - Documents and communication

Step 3 - Change the inheritance in koji so it inherits from epel8

maintainer to retire their package from playground.

finished. A time that we can see that people have manually built
their package in playground, versus the automatic builds. So that the
"older" packages are obvious.

long) step for releng.
Step 5 - Send a daily report

This plan has been approved by the Fedora Steering Committee.
Thus Step 1 has been accomplished.
Ya!!!
We will start steps 1a and 2 next week.
Step 4 - We will determine what "older" means, but right now I think
Paul has the right idea that anything with the same NVR is both epel8
and epel8-playground is considered "older", or non-automated.
