Why manylinux, if there is a native rhel 9 repo?

Also, is this even needed if detect_platform() returns linux-rhel-9 for Amazon Linux 2023?

Because the P3M linux-rhel-9 target doesn't support (consistent) system binaries reconciliation for AL2023. At least, that's my understanding based on the manylinux announcement post.

Broad Linux support: Portable binary packages should be compatible with more Linux distributions than we currently support, such as Amazon Linux 2023.

Happy to revert if you think I'm confusing separate issues.
