What's the scope of discussion here in terms of "sclo-*" SCLs and "rh-*" SCLs?

For "sclo-*" SCLs, I'd expect the RHSCL release cycle to be entirely irrelevant.

For "rh-*" SCLs, having them remain in -testing until the downstream
release (so they become generally available to RHEL & CentOS users at
the same time) seems reasonable.

So if someone wanted to take an existing rh-* package and turn it into
an sclo-* package that could be updated independently of the RHSCL
release cycle, they'd be free to do that.

Cheers,
Nick.
