I cannot comment on your release cycle (and respect that), but OTOH 7.0.0
cannot be built on RHEL 7, a major distro.

I'm very excited to push Proj 7.0 to the community repos, so that people can
benefit from the new features -- but then there is that build failure. I would
not pester you if it was a Fedora 31 or RHEL 6 issue, but RHEL 7 is still very
widely used.
