AlmaLinux are ABI-compatible or binary compatible now. Therefore they are not direct 1:1 with RHEL like Rocky is. If we do what Alma does, then we are no longer 1:1 with RHEL. So no point copying what they do.

Since Rocky maintains to be 1:1 with RHEL, changing and adding this no longer stays compatible with that ethos.

You should really be talking to @neil and @label first.
