What were you trying to do that didn't work?

xiaofwan@redhat.com found that podman is installed in recent build(rhel-ec2-3p-9.6-20250612.6), I confirmed that it was not included in previous build like 0423.
I suppose it is not expected and might be osbuild related.

No such issue in Azure and rhel guest images.

litian@redhat.com mentioned this commit distro: update distro YAML to new packagesSet map which excludes it in azure images.

Still not clear why it is not in the AMIs before without excluding it in yaml file, but we can use exclude setting to stop install the podman and others in the follow build.
