if it works, it would be great
Given the rapid pace in which Fedora versions go EOL, I wouldn't want to support this kind of syntax. Instead, I suggest we just make sure that `newer` means fc30+ for el8.
We're not really planning to ever enable EL8 slaves, since there is a huge amount of issues we'll need to solve and test to make that happen, and we're looking to deprecate the static way in which we currently manage slaves. In other words, any workaround you implement now, may not be as temporary as you think.
