Yes, that happens.

EPEL did not drop anything. EPEL for a new RHEL always starts with an empty
repository. Any package appears there must be actively requested and packaged.
redhat dropped docbook-utils-pdf for example (while keeping
docbook-utils)
which I rely on to build the manual.
Either buy a RHEL subscription and report a request to Red Hat, or ask EPEL
packagers to package docbook-utils-pdf from the docbook-utils RHEL sources.
EPEL-8 has dropped xmlstarlet,
File a request to Fedora Bugzilla for adding it.
perl-Qt
perl-Qt is deader than a dead horse. It requires other libraries that
cannot be even built and many distributions including Fedora and Debian
removed it. Please use a different GUI toolkit.
