      When converting to an RHEL EUS minor version, we need to enable EUS-specific RHEL repositories, not the default ones.

      The default RHSM repoids convert2rhel currently enables (https://github.com/oamg/convert2rhel/blob/v0.25/convert2rhel/data/8/x86_64/configs/centos-8-x86_64.cfg#L31) are:

      • rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
      • rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms

      The EUS ones we need to enable:

      • rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-eus-rpms
      • rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms

      Example of an advisory pushing kernel fix only to RHEL 8.4 EUS repos: https://errata.devel.redhat.com/errata/content/93551. That's just to illustrate that the non-EUS repositories for RHEL 8.4 don't receive security updates (e.g. http://rhsm-pulp.corp.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel8/8.4/x86_64/baseos/os/). The EUS ones do (e.g. http://rhsm-pulp.corp.redhat.com/content/eus/rhel8/8.4/x86_64/baseos/os/).

      However, besides EUS, there's also E4S (like EUS but with support for 4 years instead of 2), TUS (for Telco), and AUS (Advanced). We are yet to figure out how to approach these alternatives.

      Acceptance criteria:
