In most cases, epel-9-$arch will be the correct choice. In the bug
[0] it is suggested that when the guess is wrong it's simple to add
the chroot as an explicit argument. Instead of making the majority of
users do `dnf copr enable <copr> epel-9-<arch>`, why can't we have a
tiny number of users do `dnf copr enable <copr>
centos-stream-9-<arch>` and have the plugin guess the correct thing
for the majority of users?

It should have never been changed to behave differently in the first
place. The only real acceptable alternative other than the main epel
chroots is to have it use epel-next chroots for CentOS Stream.
However, those are not available in COPR at this time, so we use the
EPEL ones.
