Dear colleagues,
thanks to a great response from the Grid Community Forum experts,
backward-compatible version 6.2.9-8 has already appeared in EPEL 7
and should appear in EPEL 8 within a day.
FYI, version 6.2.9-9 is expected to bring a further desired change,
viz. support for OpenSSL v3 on EL9, in a backward-compatible way
and has already been tested on EL7 and 8.

Dear colleagues,
please beware of the backward incompatibility of myproxy-6.2.9-7
that recently got published in EPEL, e.g. for EPEL 7:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/m/
It only works if both the client and the server are on that release!
As an upgrade of myproxy.cern.ch caused serious problems for ALICE,
that service has been downgraded to its previous version 6.2.9-1,
which also happens to be the latest in the EGI UMD-4 repository:
http://repository.egi.eu/sw/production/umd/4/centos7/x86_64/updates/
Grid Community Forum experts are looking into the best strategy for
introducing the desired improvements, hopefully in a way that would
keep backward compatibility with existing deployments.
