It's important.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2021-09-28 14:30:57 UTC
EPEL 8 build is in progress (assuming nothing else broke in the update to 94): https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1837850

It is noteworthy that Chromium is no longer being updated for EPEL7 (it is simply too old to build it for that target anymore), so if you have any Chromium installs on EL7, I strongly recommend that you either update them to EL8 or uninstall Chromium entirely.
