(I honestly don't know how many are using kde from epel8, so I have no

Do we have documentation on how to use epel8-playground if you remove this file?

There doesn't seem to be much documentation about enabling/using the epel8-playground repo at all. However, my web searches turned up a few references about using the dnf --enablerepo=epel-playground install ... method to grab experimental packages.
