RHEL and CentOS conditions in ELN definitions

[achilleas-k]

PR #2482 removed some RHEL and CentOS conditions from the ELN image definitions. On the surface this makes sense; the conditions were left-overs from the creation of the ELN distro definitions as copies from RHEL 10. But, if I'm not mistaken, the reason we added ELN 11 was to prepare for RHEL 11 such that, when the time comes, we can copy those definitions into a distrodefs/rhel-11 directory and start testing.

Should we keep RHEL conditions in ELN so we don't need to reintroduce them?
I'm not sure, really. I think it's a good idea to have them. It ensures the transfer is smoother. On the other hand, they'd be ineffective and essentially useless for the time being.

Personally I feel they should be reintroduced after CentOS Stream 11 copies off from ELN 11. It's also not just RHEL and CentOS; it's theoretically also Alma Linux, Oracle Linux, and Rocky Linux; all of which we tend to have conditionals for in the same imagetypes.

Specifically in this case I think the intent is to no longer have anything without wsl-setup in 11 🙂

Either we'll have ELN use a rhel-11 (and later rhel-12 etc.) config which will allow for even easier transition to the next RHEL, or ELN's config will remain separate and doesn't need these conditions.
