Or possibly an additional sub-project separate from EPEL. The idea has been
kicked around a little bit -- Robyn Bergeron calls it "EPIC" (for Extra
Packages for Infrastructure and Clouds, I think). I was thinking about this
more recently in the context of "things we need for Fedora.next in the
coming year or so". The new repo might target both EL and Fedora and provide
alternative versions maintained on, say, a 3-year lifecycle.
