Possibly. However, there's no completed guidelines for SCL's in Fedora
and thus also EPEL, so they cannot be used by Fedora or EPEL.
However, nobody is blocked to build SCLs in copr (for Fedora or EPEL),
which wouldn't be available in EPEL though, which I expect was the
original purpose. But would be available for people using EPEL at least.
