EPEL Version requirements

[Orion Poplawski]

Are there any requirements that the version of a package in say EPEL 5 needs 
to be less than the version in RHEL6?  Since upgrades are not supported 
between EL versions, I was wondering if this was a requirement or not.  Is 
this noted anywhere?  I can't find a particular mention, although I suspect 
it's implicitly inherited from Fedora.  But I wonder if an exception can be made.

Driving this is this bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997946

asking for environment-modules 3.2.10 in EPEL5.  For EL6 it was moved into 
RHEL and is at 3.2.9c.
