Remind me, why not grab it from EPEL archives?
Ah, it's just two lines, and it's in Docker - and then users don't have to bother with EPEL archives. Makes sense!

As Neil told me yesterday, it's because Amazon Linux 2 does not have access to it anymore (since it is no longer in EPEL, and it is not part of AL2 core). So this is a requirement to run on AL2, not an optimization.

This is clear to me - I even spoke to some Fedora staff to see if they would bring it back (they wouldn't). At the time I suggested Neil could wget
the last version from the EPEL archives, which works, but does not help users of our packages, which is why the static build in here indeed makes sense.
thanks Peter!
