I'm the 389 maintainer.  I don't mind doing the work to create some 
packages for EL6, but I don't want that work to be thrown away as soon 
as RHEL 6.1 is released.  I'd rather come up with some long term 
solution that will work on EL6, EL7, etc.
Any suggestions?  Note that certain solutions may be non-starters if the 
change to the package name or layout is too radical - changes that would 
make the docs obsolete or require massive changes, or make dependent 
packages such as freeipa or dogtag fail.
